Dealers seem to be saying that 0W 40 is not approved for '18 Camaros and that they will only use what's specified in the Owner's Manual.

I heard the same thing. I do my own oil changes so I'll probably switch over the next time.

Added dark third brake light. Next is smoked reflectors & side markers, then do something with that SS emblem... can't decide whether to replace with a black one or just debadge. And then get a bracket for that damn license plate.

There are documents stating it is approved for previous years and what engine/model cars. Time to find a new dealer

I took my rear emblem off and don't regret it. Sometimes these cars come with too many badges.

It’s multiple dealers, not just one. Do you have a copy of - or a source for - these documents?

First trip to the dealer.

Had the dealer do the TSB for the shudder issue with the A8. Only 3K on the clock, but according to Al Oppenheiser, get it done as soon as it starts. Mine was very subtle. My first trip to the dealership, so while they had it racked, had them change the oil, which I usually do myself. Only complaint I had was that I had to drive it home in the rain

You definitely did the smart thing by getting it taken care of early, I didn't take care of it right away on my 17 ZR2 V6/A8 and it progressively got worse as well as once I finally had the TSB fix done it only helped for about a week. So I had to take it back and they replaced the torque converter.

Got my MRR M017's put on as well as my DWS06 tires (275/35-20 squared setup)


I can already tell these tires are much better than the stock Goodyears.
