Expidited Cleaning

[SargeGTO]

Am selling my 86 C4 Vette w/ 89,000 miles. Want the buyer to start off great on all systems....After the top end rebuild we put couple of thousand miles on her tweaking and tuning to get her purring like a cat. I Auto RX'd her. Cleaning phase completed and am in the rinse phase with 600 miles on it. Now of course the guy wants the car.
I have two choices.
1. Tell him to come back in 900 miles and I'll change the oil and filter for him and risk that not happening.
2. Change the filter and flush it with Amsoil Flush ( new bottle) and be done with it.
Is there any considerations for Option 2?

Just tell him to change the oil in 1000 miles (even number) and he'll be all set.

Nothing really wrong with option 2, but I'm not sure A-rx will be done with the all too critical rinse.

 

[psudaytona]

Even if he doesn't change the oil in 900, is there any real risk with that? ARX is safe, I can't see it hurting the engine to stay around longer.

Note to self: Buy a used car from SargeGTO.

The rinse phase is not critical it is needed to drive the contaminants "safely" that lay on the engine metal(after cleaning ) to the filter it is the final part of the application. In this situation posted above go ahead and do the rinse now. Give your buyer a bottle of Auto-Rx and tell him to put 3 ounces in every oil change.That corvette won't give your buyer a moments trouble.

Selling your Vette and keeping a cr@ppy Monaro, how could you?

 

[SargeGTO]

LOL ...well Sprintman...you know what they say...one mans junk..............

I think you are doing an injustice to the Monaro nameplate, and honestly I would rather have a LS2 GTO than a C4 vette.

 

[sprintman]

Joke joyce!

I'd rather have chicken salad than egg salad. So what?

Why not just change out the filter and let the buyer run the rinse phase to the normal OCI of the oil currently installed.

 

[Mr_Incredible]

Be sneaky & next time you give him a call (be sure you work it so you do) before he takes it over, casually ask what his usual OCIs are. You're doing this because it's almost time for the OC by your OCIs.

This way you'll get an idea of what he'll do. Change/don't change per the answer.

I think that the Monaro is much prettier than the GTO. The GTO looks too much like the Grand Prix I had. I think I would even go so far as to say aesthetically castrated.
