Pewter- 1999 Camaro SS-M6 #1775
Just some Concerns......
I bought my Camro about 3 months ago and it had 54xxx miles on it.
It is in great condition, but i dont know how well it was taken care of before me.
Is there any kind of things i should check on? "tune up?"
spark plugs? filters?... ect. (already changed the air filter, oil and oil filter).
any recomendations?
Thanks!1999 Camaro SS/ Pewter/ #1775 - LS1 6-speed - Predator 3 Custom Tune - Pro 5.0 - LS7 Clutch - 3.90's - Koni's - Strano Springs and Sway Bars - SFC's - Full UMI Chassis and Suspension - LS6 Intake PnP TB - ARH LT's and Kitty Ran Away - Magnaflow.

Replace your plugs/wires, get a oil change with some Mobil 1 5/30 Synthetic...who knows what the previous owner put in the car. A fuel filter is also good to change because it will build up bad shit if the previous owner put 7/11 or AMPM gas in it. Also get yourself a can of BG 44k to clean any carbon build up on the fuel lines, injectors, etc. That is what I did when I bought my car from the previous owner.

Im changing the oil with 10W-30 mobile 1 synthetic.
and what about running FP60? i heard it's very good stuff.
does anyone know how much that Royal purple tranny fluid is?
is it hard to change? or do i need a lift to do it?
thanks!

I went to my local shucks and they had Royal Purple 10W-30 for $6.2x. a quart.
is that about right? I thought it would be more expensive.Last edited by Tyler_LS1; 11-09-2006 at 01:41 PM. Reason: added info

Do not use 10W30 oil in an LS1. Use either 0W30 or 5W30. I use either RP or Amsoil and I have 122K miles on my car and just did H/C swap. My engine looked new on the inside. I currently run Amsoil 0W30 in my motor (411 RWHP/396 RWTQ) without any problems. By all means change your fluids out for RP or Amsoil, you will see a big difference in the way the car shifts and your gas mileage.

Looks like everyone else has covered the major areas, but spend $10 and change your fuel filter as well. No telling how long its been in there and might save your fuel pump from taking a dump on ya

I'm sure he feels like dropping the K member to look inside the oilpan. lol. Just run some Seafoam thru it before changing the oil. I wouldn't use Mobil 1 either, the quality has gone way downhill for the money you pay.
