1994 CHEVROLET CORVETTE oil filter

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Substitute Oil (LT1 Only): When adding
oil to maintain engine oil level, if an oil
meeting GM Standard GM4718M is not
available, you can use oil designated
either
SAE 5W-30 API Service SH or SG
at all temperatures, or
SAE 1OW-30 API
Service
SH or SG at temperatures above
0°F (-18°C). This oil should not be used
for an oil change.
Substitute Oil (LT5 Only): When adding
oil to maintain engine oil level, if an oil
meeting
GM Standard GM4718M is not
available, you can use oil designated SAE
1OW-30 API Service SH or
SG at all
temperatures. This oil should not be used
for an oil change.
Engine Oil Additives
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your
Chevrolet dealer is ready to advise if you
think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
See if any one of these is true for you:
Most trips are less than 4 miles
It’s below freezing outside and most
trips are less than
10 miles (16 km).
(6 km).
The engine is at low speed most of
the time (as
in stop-and-go traffic).
Most trips are through dusty places.
If any one of these is true for your
vehicle, you need to change your oil and
filter every 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or
3 months
- whichever comes first.
(See “Engine Oil Life Monitor” in the
Index.)
If none of them is true, change the oil
every 7,500 miles
( 12 500 km) or 12
months
- whichever comes first. Change
the filter at the first oil change and at
every other oil change after that. (See
“Engine Oil Life Monitor” in the Index.)
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block
Heater)
An engine coolant heater can be a big
help if you have to park outside in very
cold weather,
0 “F (- 18 “C) or colder. If
your vehicle has this feature, see “Engine
Coolant Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil
contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even
cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your
skin for very long. Clean your skin
and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or throw away
clothing or rags containing used engine
oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings
about the use and disposal of oil
products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the
environment. If you change your own oil,
be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from
the filter before disposal. Don’t ever
dispose of oil by putting it in the trash,
pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or
into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle
it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil. If you have a problem
properly disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station or
a local
recycling center for help. L 1

Explanation of Scheduled
Maintenance Services
Following are explanations of the services
listed in Schedule I and Schedule
11.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are
listed in Section D. Make sure whoever
services your vehicle uses these. All parts
should be replaced and all necessary
repairs done before you or anyone else
drives the vehicle.
NOTE: To determine your engine’s
displacement and code, see
“Engine Identification” in the
Index.
ITEM

1 Engine Oil and Filter Change* -
Always use SH or SG Energy
Conserving I1 oils of proper
viscosity. The engine requires a
special oil meeting GM Standard
GM4718M. Oils meeting this
Standard may be identified as
synthetic, and should also be
identified as API Service
SH or
SG. However, not all Synthetic
API Service
SH oils will meet

NO. SERVICE
this GM Standard. You should
look for and use only an oil that
meets GM Standard GM4718M.
To determine the preferred
viscosity for your vehicle’s
engine (e.g.,
SAE 5W-30 or SAE
10W-30), see “Engine Oil” in
the Index.
Your vehicle has an Engine Oil
Life Monitor. This monitor will
show you when to change the oil
- usually between 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 7,500 miles
( 12 500 km) since your last oil
change. Under severe conditions
the indicator may come on before
3,000 miles
(5 000 km). Never
drive your vehicle more than
7,500 miles (12
500 km) or 12
months without an oil change.
The system won’t detect dust in
the oil..
So if you drive in a dusty
area be sure
to change your oil
every 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or
sooner if the “Change Oil” light
comes on.

Lubricate the transmission shift
linkage, and parking brake cable guides, underbody contact points
and linkage.
Engine Accessory Drive Belt(s) Inspection
- Inspect the belt(s)
for cracks, fraying, wear and
proper tension. Replace as needed. (Belts can have many
small cracks in individual ribs
without affecting performance.)
Cooling System Service*
-
Drain, flush and refill the system with
new or approved recycled
coolant conforming to GM
Specification 1825M. Keep
coolant at the proper mixture as
specified. See “Coolant” in the

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

To help ensure proper operation,
we recommend a pressure test of
both the cooling system and the
pressure cap.
5 Transmission Service - For
manual transmissions, fluid
doesn’t require changing. See
