GM product: 2001 Corvette Z06.
Great posting by the way! (avalanche fan club)When the Z06 was new, it took a lot more research to ferret out the DIC oil monitoring parameters.
Oil and PF-44 oil filters are usually done between 14,500-15,000 miles but verified by the DIC. (on board- button accessed- Driver Information Center)
Factory recommendations are 15,000 miles max and or 1 year.
Factory recommendations and fill is Mobil One 5w30. I have continued to use Mobil One 5w30. The odometer approaches 68,000 miles.
(I have been using Mobil One 5w30 in Toyota Landcrusers with 15k intervals for app 650k miles prior. So not only do I like the brand, but have had good history with it. For me it is almost a no brainer to continue use. I also do not have to stock as many different brands or viscosities, i.e. just stock the next oil change!!! )
Two off topic. Outside of a break in oil and filter change at 1,600 miles.
(totally unnecessary but probably an old school habit)
I have changed oil 4 times.
I just had to get a new battery :OT:I am used to batteries crapping out at app the 10 year mark!
