2009 SS - basic info needed
Where can I get the "basic" stuff on my new SS? Oil types / grades / change schedule? Other operating requirements? For instance, the sales guy at the dealer says GM wants me to idle the car for one minute before shut down.
NONE of this is in any of the paperwork that came with my car, so I need to confirm / deny these little quirks and nail down the hard data if I can.
Thanx, Gary

5W30 Mobile One is in it and what GM recomends.
Use your Oil Life Monitor as it is accurate and will let your run 7000-10000 miles on a oil change. It is fine and GM will not void your warranty.
No idle down is needed. This is a modern Water Cooled turbo with synthetic oil. It is made to handle the high temps and will not kill the bearing as in the early T type Buicks of the late 70's.
Salesman are the last to take advice form 80% of the time.

I never noticed that until the temps got cold here back in November. I like it!
On Wednesday I tried remote starting my car from my office, which is a good 300-400 feet away from the lot, and on the second floor. It worked!

I was inside a movie theater on New Years Eve with my wife ("chick flick"). As the credits started rolling, just for the heck of it I hit the remote start... Car was warm and toasty when we got to it across the parking lot.
Only problem after that, the seats wouldn't slide back far enough...
Happy New Year to Me!
