rhis gauge shows your engine oil
emperature. Oil temperature may
vary
vith the type of driving you do and
weather conditions, but readings above
the shaded area show the normal
operating range. If your oil temperature
is close to the shaded area and it stays
there, your oil temperature is too high.
Check the engine coolant temperature
and engine oil level. If your engine
is too
hot, see “Engine Overheating” in the
Index. Your vehicle may need service;
see your dealer.

Inflation - Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label which is on the driver’s door shows the correct
inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has
been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than a mile.
For competitive driving or high-speed driving (over
150 mph or 240 krn/h), make
sure your tires are inflated to
35 psi (240 kPa). When you end this type of driving,
reduce the “cold” inflation pressures (if necessary) to those listed
on the
Tire-Loading Information label.
NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is all right. It’s not.
If your tires don’t have enough air (underinflation) you can get:
0 Too much flexing
0 Too much heat
0 Tire overloading
0 Bad wear
0 Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
0 Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
When to Check: Check your tires
mce
a month or more. Don’t forget
your compact spare tire. It should be at
50 psi (420 Wa).
How to Check: Use a good quality
pocket-type gauge to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires
will not tell you the pressure,
=specially if you have radial tires
-
which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
Lf your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Rotation
I’he tires on your Corvette are
lirectional, asymmetrical, and are
different sizes front to rear. Due to this,
your tires should not be rotated. Each
tire and wheel should be used only in
the position it is in.

freeze and boil protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and
maintains proper engine
operating temperature.
Inspect hoses and replace if
they are cracked, swollen or
deteriorated. Tighten screw-type
hose clamps. Clean the outside of
the radiator and air conditioning
condenser. Wash the pressure cap
and neck.
To help ensure proper operation,
we recommend a pressure test of
both the cooling system and the
pressure cap.

maintenance services be performed at the
indicated intervals and the maintenance be
recorded in “Section
E: Maintenance Record.”
