I just had my pump replaced in August (rods/mains also good) and asked the same question re break in. The consensus was that I'm good to go with no special break-in, so I took it straight to the...

FWIW, my regular dealership is very familiar with my car and services 2 or 3 ZLE's and I have no complaints with them. Because the oil pump failure happened on a road trip, I had to get it towed to...

Steve it is. I'm sure the 0.14s loss stings, particularly after the wobble in 5 but it was a nice recovery and no shame in 2nd.

Any ZL1 is special. I don't see many in my neck of the woods (Creemore area) so they really jump out when they do make an appearance. Enjoy the road.:happy0180:
