    Is Mobil 1 the best choice?

    Based on all of your responses (and my gut), I'm going to stay with Mobil 1 oil and filters. M1 may not be the best choice, but it's not the worst either. Plus, it's the brand that most shops have in stock. Changing my own o&f is not an option. Thanks for your input. John K Support our...

    Is Mobil 1 the best choice?

    I've been using Mobil 1 oil & filters for my 2004 Vette (standard engine) from the beginning. I recently moved to Missouri, and my local GM service guy told me they use two types of oil for my car - Mobil and GTX, with the GTX being $30 cheaper for the oil/filter change (I forgot to ask about...

    Steering Column Lock - Solution???

    I have an 04 Vette along with a good extended warranty. So, when I got the message "Service Column Lock", I took it in to my local Chevy dealership. They diagnosed it as an internal failure in lock and replaced the steering column lock actuator. Now, one month later, I'm getting the same...

    Is the Corvette Still Relevant?

    Despite what the current administration feels about the kinds of vehicles we should be driving, in the long run it will continue to be the consumer who decides what kind of vehicle we want to drive, whether it be a Suburban or a SmartCar. Right now, people aren't buying anything, large or...

    Question: Maintenance on 2004 Vette

    Thanks again for the good advice, Tuna. Lefty, you got that right. I bought my '99 Silverado and my Vette from Lynn Layton. I've since sold the truck, but I plan to get my Vette serviced at LL.

    Question: Maintenance on 2004 Vette

    Thanks for the advice, Tuna. I've had batteries die on me unexpectedly in the past, too. What about the fuel filter and the injectors? Nothing is mentioned in the owners manual about the filter. Do I need to have my injectors serviced if my car is running well? While I don't run my Vette...

    Question: Maintenance on 2004 Vette

    Corvette Lovers: I have a 2004 Vette Coupe that I bought new. It has the standard 350 HP with 6 spd and has 20K southern US miles on it, both short and long trip mileage. I've had no problems with it and have the oil and filter changed at regular intervals. I've never driven it "hard"...

    Sidewall split on 2004

    Split in Tire Thanks for the quick responses. They've been helpful. I bought my 04 in July, 2003, so the tires are over 4 years old. But you're right, I probably hit something and didn't realize it. Thanks again and happy holidays. John

    Sidewall split on 2004

    I have a 2004 coupe with 19K miles. Yesterday, I noticed a two inch split on the right rear tire with the center parts bulging out. There are no marks around it to indicate I hit something. In other words, I think it may just be a deformity. Although it's possible, I can't think of a time...

    Hi, Where can I find a good source (e.g. web site, book, etc) that explains the improvements that have been made in the C5's by year up through 2004? Thanks in advance.

    Installing Aftermarket Satellite Radio

    Hi All, I have an '04 Coupe with the original standard equipped AM/FM/Single CD player. How difficult would it be to install an aftermarket XM satellite radio that I can easily take out and use in another vehicle. If this subject has been brought up before, you can just redirect me there...

    Any Ideas for Extra Storage Space?

    Thanks, JTJ. Both the cupholder and the tray sound like great ideas. Where did you order the cupholder from?

    Any Ideas for Extra Storage Space?

    I have an '04 Coupe, black interior and I need some ideas on how to carry extra small items without them sliding around (eyeglasses, cell phone, small notebook, etc). Does anyone have any experience with the after market items, like the one that fits on the back of the console? How about a...
