do your own  service work,  see “Servicing  Your Air 
Bag-Equipped  Corvette”  in  the Index. 
You ;should keep a record with all parts  receipts and list 
the mileage  and the date of any service work  you 
perform. See “Maintenance Record”  in the Index. 
NOTICE: 
If you  try  to  do  your  own  service work without 
knowing  enough  about  it, your  vehicle  could  be 
damaged. 
Fuel 
5.7L  LT5 (Code J) Engine 
The 8th digit  of your vehicle identification  number 
(VIN) shows the code letter for  your engine.  You will 
find  the VIN  at the  top left of your  instrument panel. 
(See  “Vehicle  Identification Number” in the Index.) 
Use premium unleaded gasoline rated  at 
9 1 octane or 
higher. You may  use middle grade or regular  unleaded 
gasolines, but your vehicle  may  not accelerate  as well. 
The  gasoline  you use should  meet specifications  ASTM 
D4814 in the United States  and CGSB 3.5-92 in 
Canada. These  fuels should  have  the  proper  additives, 
so 
you should not have  to add  anything to the fuel. 
In  the United States  and Canada,  it’s easy  to  be  sure you 
get the right kind 
of gasoline (unleaded).  You’ll see 
UNLEADED  right on 
the pump. And only  unleaded 
nozzles will  fit  into your vehicle’s  filler neck.
