Which dealership are you taking the car to? Are they good? I'm in the DMV and my AC failed last summer but I'm terrified of letting dealer techs work on it.

Something tells me this guy is an Ottawa Senators fan.... :giggle:

Thanks for posting. I will have to check mine out. My AC went out very suddenly as I was driving and I could smell refrigerant both inside and outside the vehicle (when I stopped). This leads me to believe that whatever happened must have been quick and catastrophic (rather than a slow leak over...

Can you post a picture of the failure point please? I want to check mine with the UV light.

There is a 10% chance it is Allen Tim's car and he just likes to sign with his last name first.

Hey everyone. Some good tips here, thanks. AC is not on because it actually doesn't work (started blowing hot a couple of months ago) and I haven't gotten around to getting it fixed. Interesting angle about the PCV valve. I need to check my catch can. I haven't emptied it in a while. Maybe it...

Recently I've noticed rhythmic fluctuations in AFR at idle while the engine is still warming up. Every 4 or 5 seconds the AFR jumps from ~14 to ~15, and results in a corresponding drop in RPM at the high end of the AFR. This seems to disappear when the engine has warmed up. Any ideas?

All the people that installed the FL-2087A had their engines explode which caused them to lose the ability to post on the internet :giggle:

These guys have 99 new Z06 cars in stock....WTF? :giggle:

Yeah I was totally underwhelmed by the Z51. A colleague has one and I took it for a short spin a while ago. I agree on the steering feel also. I'll have to pop over and test drive a Z06. I hope it will feel different but you never know until you try.

I will preface this by saying that Chevrolet options packages give me a headache. But from what I can gather there is a range of 1LT, 2LT, 3LT cars and some of them have the "ultimate z06" package which includes some Z07 components. Those are also under MSRP.

There are a ton of them on dealership lots now, most listed at below MSRP. Would be kind of neat to have another FPC V8 vehicle. Main issue for me is a lack of back seat; my daughter wouldn't be able to ride in it for a number of years. Tempting though. Have to figure out how to start...

Same. My OEM lasted 7 years. I saw no reason to go with anything else.

I switched to the FL2087 from the FL2062 for my second oil change (so in 2020), since the FL2087 superseded the FL2062 in late 2019. Yes I imagine it would apply to all years. I saw it reported at the time the FL2087 came out and then experienced it myself when I swapped to that filter.

Very nice! Hope it serves you well. Drive that poor thing :giggle: 2400 km in 8 years by the last owner is sacrilege.
