    CT5-V CT5 Blackwing oil change

    I hesitate to insert myself into an oil thread - ha! But I think the general consensus amongst the oil nerds is that th 5w50 is good for a short time - i.e. track use. But even in southern/summer temps the 0w40 is more appropriate for daily/road driving and/or trypical oil change intervals.

    STILL SEARCHING AND LEARNING

    Yes :) Go to your performance page. Then tap the bottom icon on the left. And you can swipe up and down thru the choices and select your favorite three. From memory, they include eLSD%, tire pressure, fluid temps, and maybe hp, tq, and boost.

    CT5-V Oil Change Report/Health

    Here are my first two. The oil nerds say that UOA's for the first few changes are uselsess because engine isn't broken in, there's so much assembly silicon, etc. But like you all, I wanted records from the very beginning. I'm using Mobil 1 0w40 ESP X4. It's now DexosR approved, has more...

    CT5-V Oil Change Report/Health

    I like Speed Diagnostix/Lake Speed Jr. but he/they are proud of their analysis. If you can do without the write-up's, I think the Oil Analyzers lab (available for purchase thru Amsoil website) is generally regarded as the best lab and bang-for-buck.

    Anti-Theft - IGLA?

    I think you can make the code anywhere between 3 and 20 button presses. As for stalling, I don't know. I'll have to try it and find out. But between the BW's torque, its throttle shall we say "assistance" and being an Excellent, Excellent Driver - I've never stalled mine.

    Anti-Theft - IGLA?

    I just had mine installed on a manual. You get in the car, hold down the start button for ~5 seconds. That wakes up the car/IGLA. You then tap in your code and listen for the the confirming beeps. Press clutch and brake, hit start, hear the sweet sound of your LT4, and you're good to go. It's...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Well it was technically yesterday, but I changed the oil for the first time myself. When I had the factory fill changed, I had them put on a Stahlbus adapter. It’s kinda like a fumoto in concept, but without an external valve sticking out and a belts (ball valve) and suspenders (cap) approach to...

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    For those who've attended - any tips/tricks for the plus-ones? When can they ride along, are there any classroom sessions that they might like in particular? Or should they plan on working/relaxing/enjoying the amenities most of the time?
