Question: Ready to get the Vette out on the road.

The oil in my 2003 has been in there since last August, I should change it right ? I usually change it every August along with the filter and PA state inspection ? It's 2013 so I need to flush the coolant and change it as well. Thank you !

the oil should be ok......how many miles on it since you changed it?

Sadly about 600. I was very sick last year. As I get older it seems like you are either going this doctor or that doctor. I gotta start enjoying life a little more ! But I did get the interior last year.

I'm glad you are getting better.....and yes we all need to slow down and smell the roses more. What interior did you get..?

The interior ?

I found a little company in Texas who did such a nice job on a shifter boot, I asked about something a little more exotic, and they came back even better than I thought it could be done. The Shift boot and E-brake boot are done in a light ash. It's the closest I could get to fit in with the "Shale" interior and still be different. It looks much better once you see it. I know, I know it's not carbon fiber, but every card has a back to it. You would like it if you were sitting in the passengers seat.

I'm very particular with my corvette but I feel it is a total waste of money to change your oil at that mileage , especially if it is synthetic which you are suposed to run in your corvette. You will get many opinions on this subject especially on the corvette forums but that is my opinion.

It it was me, it would have more miles on it each year.

Otherwise I'd probably just change the oil filter and top off the oil. Definitely flush the coolant and put new in. It's supposed to be changed every 5 years anyway.

Check the brake fluid and have it changed.

Check hoses and belts also.

How about the tires? Still the original tires? If so, think about new tires.
