New Addition to the Stable

[SilverSnake]

Just bought a 2015 1LT Corvette Stingray yesterday. Awesome machine. Calls for 5W-30 full synthetic. Plan to use Mobil 1 as recommended by GM. Will change out factory oil at 1,000 - 2,000 miles. Then every 6 months or 4,000 - 5,000 miles thereafter. Not much other maintenance required.

Congrats on your new ride. GM head honcho Mary Barra says the new Camaro has given her goosebumps this week.

Both your's and her's are fantastic American badged sports cars. Nothing wrong with your future scheduled oil change maintanence plans.

(link) GM Mary Barra loves the new Camaro.

Does GM actually require Mobil 1? I thought they only required a dexos1 approved oil.

Nice,nice,nice!
I'd say I'm jealous, but I'm really not.
This is a car of very impressive performance, especially at the price.
Not too many cars can scare a 911 on a track, but these can.

Of course Barra loves the new Camaro,she cant say she loves the new Mustang or Challenger afterall...

 

[SilverSnake]

GM recommends but does not require Mobil 1.

Awesome car ! Have fun ! Your oil change plan seems like a good plan to me. You can even space them a bit, every year or 6-8k miles sounds good enough for me

 

[Hondacity]

[Mr Nice]

7 speed or Auto trans ?

Bear?
I thought it was a hornets nest.

Color is Blade Silver. Transmission is the new 8 speed auto. Also has the optional factory Performance Exhaust. If you select Sport or Track modes, 2 cutouts open and give you a sweet aggressive sound. If you want quiet, select the weather, eco, or touring modes and the cutouts close. A truly amazing system.

Car is a fair weather toy. Plan to take to the local shows.

I have never seen a photo posted on this site. Tell me how to do it and I will post.

Very nice selection! Btw I need to get into your line of work. They must pay teachers well down there!

 

[SilverSnake]

Not a teacher. Retired from the military after 27 years of service. Worked for 15 more years after that. Now I am enjoying playing with my toys.
