    Question: oil

    I am sure that there will be other opinions, but I have stayed with the recommended Mobil 1 and AC filter. No problems at all. I do not race it or any other special application, just enjoyable driving and find the car to perform very well. :w

    Help! Changing a C-5 battery

    Killian A good idea to start above. Also, I would suggest, if you have not done so yet, going back to the store where you got the Optima. Explain to them that the battery will not hold a charge so that the tender will shut off. Ask for some relief per the warranty as it is causing problems...

    Help! Changing a C-5 battery

    I quickly read down through the posts and did not see a few things on this issue(they could have been there & I missed them). If I could, I would just mention them for what it is worth. I would strongly advise an AGM type battery because of the acid leakage possibility of conventional types...

    "A C5 Day" The Video!

    That was a great video. Did anyone happen to take a look at the Z06 dyno disaster that was listed to the right of the screen with several other C-5 videos. You will get a real bang out of it! :eek

    C5 Recomendations and Cautions

    I would agree with all of the above. Go with a 2001 or above if you can, lowest mileage-newest year. Most of the common problems will probably have been fixed. Most C-5 now have the column lock by pass installed, and the 6 speeds have the skip shift by pass in. So go shop. You...

    Silverbullit99 Just my 2 cents worth from the Delco experience. I have had several of them leak in other cars. Directly under your tray are the major computer connections and your vacuum lines. Just the slightest amount of acid and you have really big problems. That is why many use...
