What weight? Hi again, and thank you! It is actually much easier for me to have oil changes made at our local Pennzoil dealer. What weight/type of oil should I ask for? If I did decide to use Mobil 1 (regular -- not synthetic) and have the oil changed an hour away at the Mobil dealer, what...

I have a 1988 Corvette and need to know what oil and filter to use for my car. The previous owner used Castrol 10 20 40. I live in south Louisiana, and my local oil dealer is Pennzoil. Could I use Pennzoil? If so, what type? There is a Mobil 1 oil change outlet close to me, and I have been...

Thanks for the advice! Beautiful car!

My 1988 red C4 has great paint except for the edge that runs along the body on both sides just underneath the doors. You cannot see this edge when you are up close to the car, but from a few feet away, the missing/chipped away paint is an eyesore. How would you approach this problem? I think...

You are correct. Old age is getting me. My tires are P275/40/ZR17 98W Thanks for pointing that out!

I have an 88 C4 coupe with Yokohama tires: 175/40/ZR17 98W Do I need 17's with 8.5 or 9.5 width? Thanks!

I bought my C4 in October, and it came with C5 rims and 17" new tires. I saw the C6 with twin spoke rims and wondered how those would look on a C4. I know I would have to get the rim/tire package in the 17" size. Has anyone seen these rims on a C4? How do they look? Thanks for your opinion...

I want to order the correct weatherstripping/rubber trim for my 1988 C4 (targa top). I need the rubber stripping for the top and side of each door window (driver and passenger). In other words, I need the rubber stripping where the glass meets the top and the body of the car. I am not sure...

My red C4 has a two-inch scratch (kind of a cut) in the front bumper (on the driver's side corner). I tried to touch it up with touch up paint, but it did not match. Now, I am trying to think of a way to hide the blemish. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

Need Your Opinion on Color I like the Wheelskins, also. My car is bright red with red seats and carpet. Dash is black with red/black carbon fiber trim. Console is red. Mats are black. Would you do a two-tone Wheelskin (red/black) or just a black Wheelskin? If you chose the two-tone, would...

I'd like to dress up my steering wheel and am wondering if anyone has seen a nice, well made (meaning it fits well and looks good) steering wheel cover they could recommend? I'd like a two-tone leather one (red/black). I found one on Corvette America (Wheelskins). Any opinions? Any other...

Thanks for your help! I appreciate your information

My '88 C4 coupe is bright red. I would like to use the best product possible to produce a brilliant shine and also protect the paint. I currently am a Zaino user, but I am wondering if others may prefer another polish or wax. Or if you are a Zaino user, is there a certain procedure you follow...

Well, here was the situation. I had just purchased the Vette (my first Corvette), and it needed inspection. There were several issues that needed to be addressed before inspection, including the rear reverse lamps. I have two older model cars, and both have differing means of installing...

I just applied carpet dye to my C4 interior. It was from a spray bottle (dye and water mixed), and I sprayed it on and then brushed it into the carpet in the faded areas. I think it will turn out nicely. My carpet is damp/wet from the spray, so I am wondering how long it will take for the...

Thanks for the great information. I had forgotten about the clear coat issue. I do have a clear coat paint pen I could try to see if the paint darkens with application. I do think the car was repainted in the correct color (Code 81 -- Bright Red), so it is probably the clear coat factor...

Thanks! I posted the question in the detailing section. I also use Zaino and am pleased with it. I had never heard of adding wax to the polished surface, so I thought I would ask for opinions. Have a great weekend!

I have used a certain brand of polish (Zaino) on my cars for years and have been pleased. Recently, a friend who owns several classic cars told me that polish has little protective values for a paint surface -- that it is mainly a light abrasive to clean/prepare paint. He said I need to polish...

Thanks for your help and advice. I have a 1988 C4 -- it is red, but I'm not sure exactly what shade of red. It was repainted at some point by the previous owner, and I am thinking it was done with the original factory color as there is no mismatch in the door jams, bumper areas, etc. With...
