People can't believe I've already have over 50,000 miles on the ODO. Mine's a 2013. So far, so good. No problems at all. Just regular wear and tear items. Tires, brakes... In fact, I drove my neighbor's 2007 Porsche 911 GT3. I had 20Kmi more on mine than he had on his. I thought, damn, this is...

I really hope this is truly the case. My PT warranty ends this coming September, then I'm on my own. I feel fairly comfortable with reasonable care and use of a top quality synthetic lubricant that I can get this engine to run at least a 1/4 million miles...Might have to replace a crank damper...

Latest oil analysis report-blackstone Sorry it's been a while. This is my latest oil report at about 45K miles. The oil has about 8K miles of use including 5 hours of track time at NJ Motorsports Park. I now have 50K miles on the car. So far, so good. Also attached is a letter from Blackstone...

Hib, Very interesting article and changes. Were there any other changes to a LS7 built in 2013 as compared to one built in 2006? I think they were: going from lead to a synthetic polymer main crank bearings and the micro finishing on the TI intake valve stems in 2014 and ECM updates. Was there...

Very sorry to hear about this. My sincerest condolences. I have a 2013 and I'm still worried about it. Thankfully, I'm still under warranty. And I'm not letting it sit around (except for now as it's winter where I am) and putting as much mileage as possible on it. I have almost 38K so far. I...

I will relish reading this updated article. I just did a oil analysis on my LS7 at nearly 40K with 8200 miles on the last change. So far, so good. But, I also understand that's not always a good indicator. At least the engine is still quiet, consumed no oil this last change and no SES DTC. I'd...

Apex oil analysis arrived Here are the particulars of the report. Levels of metals and TI elements were extremely low. I received the following: Sandy, Please see the attached report for the oil sample that we received. Wear metals and titanium in particular look excellent. Have a great day...

I replaced my GY EMTs in 2014. I went to Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Seriously excellent tire! They're non EMTs, but, I'm not concerned. I had my IROC for over 25 years and it had wide tires, too, and picked up lots of screws, nails, etc. over it's years. I never once had a catastrophic...

I have the HELM factory service manuals and I didn't see anything in them about any of this. Interesting.... I remember pressing the WARM and COOL buttons...or was it the OFF button...no matter...would turn the on the diagnostics and one could monitor all the aspects of the ECM as well as reset...

I just noticed this thread. I'd like to add my 2013 to this thread. It's a bit of a plain Jane, what with the white paint and no other decals or graphics. But, it like it's subdued appearance. :beer BTW, I did get ride of the front plate holder and got one that attaches under the front cover...

I decide a while back to flush all the fluids in my 2013 when it got close to 40Kmiles. Took it to the dealer and they performed the services. Clutch, engine, cooling, P/S, brakes, trans and diff. All have fresh fluids. It wasn't cheap. But, I'm planning on keeping my Vette for a long time. So I...

I just sent off the oil sample yesterday. The instructions said I could just put it in the envelope and just drop it into any mail receptacle. Hopefully, I'll get a report in the next couple of weeks. I put on a special note that TI and FMPM was of greatest interest due to the valve drop issues...

Tuna...I screwed up on sending out the last bottle of oil for analysis. I just dropped it into a postal pickup box and it never got to the lab. I should've hand delivered it to the post office to register it as a liquid and flammable. I'll be due for another oil change (DIC says I'm below 30%)...

Welp...It happened to me again today. I stopped in to the grocery store to pick up a couple of items, came back out, got in, heard that distinctive difference in the relay clicking, pressed the start button, no start. Just the engine SES light. Pressed the bottom of the rocker then pressed the...

More often than I'd like it to. Maybe I'm in areas of high RF traffic. What with all the wi fi hotspots around now. And a lot of other things are using RF, too. Like Blue Tooth...I figure the system was designed in 2003...2004...maybe...And a lot of these things weren't quite as prevalent at the...

So I'm thinking stray RF is jamming the interrogations between the K F and the BCM? Hmmm...I've read about RF interfering with TPMSs...Pressing the bottom of the rocker does seem to do something resembling a system reset.

No.... Just the 'check engine' icon illuminating on the dash. No 'no K F detected' message on the DIC. I've had the no KF condition before, however, and replacing the battery always cured that condition. The 'no start' happens very randomly and very occasionally. I've put a rather large amount...

I don't know if others who own a C6 have had this issue. Very occasionally, after parking for about 10-20 min, I'll get in, and there'd be no green indicator light on the start/stop ignition toggle switch. When I press the top of the rocker in to start, I get a 'engine' lit icon on the...

I think it's a good way to see what's happening inside the engine without any disassembly. It's kind of like having blood work done. I'll post it as soon as I get the results back. Should be very interesting.

I just had my oil and filter changed this week (and had the low beam recall taken care of). I sent a sample of the drain oil to a analysis lab in CA for evaluation. I want to see what what's going on inside my engine without removal and disassembly of the heads. I figure this will be a good way...
