The 500 mile is for the C7 LT4, not the ZL1 LT4. The salesman told me the same thing and I had to remind him the Corvette is the dry sump, not the ZL1.

Well, Zeros do have their usefulness. I have always used them for target practice.

Just remember, behind the scenes, it's pass /fail.you rate the salesman at 100% perfect or zero. Anything you put under 100 is equal to a zero… Very unfair system.

I would too, but I happen to wait until 1600'ish after breakin so I could redline it without worry. They told me to wait until it says 20% Oil Life Left. I just laughed.

Changed mine at break in, ~1500 miles.
I always thought it was a joke for them to ask for a 100%. I'm in no way malicious but if you don't do your job, which by the way isn't rocket science, then I'm not giving you 100%.

But make a lousy system work for you. Give him 100%, then call him and tell him you gave him that 100, but you still are'nt really happy about this or that, and the guy will remember you for life. |
