Thanks!!! Thanks Rick, exactly what I was looking for!!! Pete

Hi all, I am looking for a copy, scanned or faxed, of the page in the factory manual (for my 2002) that tells you about changing the oil. I need the torque value for the drain plug and or any other pertinent information that will allow me to change my engine oil. Thanks in advance, Pete Fax No...

Chips! I looked my car over really well this afternoon in the bright sunlight. It seems like the chips are comming from the front tires. The area in front of the rear wheels looks like it is sand blasted. Same with the area below the doors, bunches of small chips. Sucks! Guess I'l put some mud...

Clean Roads??!! Drive on clean roads, you got to be kidding! Next, someone will tell me not to drive when it rains. No way, I drive my 'Vettes. I have over 125,000 on my '81, all by me! I think that GM engineers should have solved this problem. I look at other performance cars and they don't...

I was cleaning my car tonight and found numerous small rock chips on my lower body work. I would have thought that the GM Engineers would have solved the problem of paint damage. My car is a 2002 with less than 4000 miles on it and it NEVER sees gravel. I can't belive that road dirt can do this...

wheel dust Hi Steve, There is one last thing you could do to hide the dust. Go to Walmart and buy a BIG set of hubcaps!!! Ha Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........Pete Keep a coat of good polish on them and they rinse right off. If it is dry where my car does not need washing, I hose off the...

What do you think of the GM Protection Plan theat they offer on new cars? My 2002 is about six months old now and I have received several offers for the extended warrenty from GM. Is this worth buying? Any opinoins would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pete

Bad 'Vette? When ever you start modifying a car you get into a give and take situation. You want more horse power you get less reliability. Take a car with stock engine and you get great reliability. I have owned two 'Vettes for over 20 years and put over a 120,000 miles on one of them and had...

red in the face! Thanks C4C5! Looks and works good. Pete:beer

Hi All, I'm sorry to ask such a dumb question, but where does the rear cargo net hang? I figured out the cargo cover (I am an Engineer for crying out loud!) but the rear net has me stumped! If you would have a digital picture you could send I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Pete:confused

Just a suggestion, go find another six speed and drive it. Even a trip to an out of town dealer would ease your mind. Hope it's nothing to be concerened about. Later, Pete

Thanks for the info Dan & Hib. The original question was regarding the tranny, the second question was about the engine oil. The car is new and I was wondering about the first oil change. I have never had a car with synthetic oil and I have heard of letting it run for long intervals. I plan on...

Thanks for the quick reply. You said that fluid changes are the most helpful, what would be your recomendation on the fluid change interval. Also, different subject, what do you suggest on the first oil change interval? I was thinking of having it changed at 2,500 miles. Thanks, Pete :)

I need to get a question answered. In a recent conversation with a Camaro owner and a GM service tech, I was told that the automatic trans on the C-5 won't take repeted "hard" shifts. By this I mean hard acceleration from a rolling start (30 to 40 mph) and letting it run through the gears...

Thanks for the replies. Broke out the wax and gave it the once over. Pete

Hi All, I picked up my new black coupe a couple of weeks ago and I want to know if I have to wait to wax it or if it would be safe to put a coat of wax on it with the paint still "fresh". Also, what type and or brand do you recommend? I have used the "cheap wax" on my previous cars and they...

Hi all, My new black coupe arrived early, talk about a great Christmas present! I put over 400 miles on this weekend, so the break in period is almost over. It has been very difficult keeping my foot out of it, although it did see a little over a hundred and twenty last night! I kept it in OD...

Thanks everyone for responding! I have been doing my research and I keep hearing great things about the C-5. With all the positive feed back that you have been giving, my concerns are diminishing fast! Thanks everyone and it great to be part of the family. Pete:D :D

Hi All, Thanks for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to getting a new car! My last one was in 1981! To answer some of the above questions; I have ordered a black coupe with the grey interior from a dealer in Jacksonville Illinois. We expect the car around the first of the year, can't wait...
