Would this one...

be a suitable one?

Sorry for these stupid questions but I've recently bought my ZR-1 and I want to look after it the best way possible!

Im sure Bill knows his stuff but I think the engineers of these oil companies have a clue too.. Ill keep using this stuff, shifts fine.

Ok guys, where can I find the Hex wrenches. I got a 10mm socket, but it won't fit(not enough room to get the socket in there). So I need to pick up a 17mm and a 10mm. I am pretty sure I can find the 10mm any ideas on the 17mm.

roger i got mine from my local napa store . i didnt get the socket type , just the old fashioned type , you know the one bent like an L. it a good idea to warm the car/tranny up before trying to pull the plugs,also remove the fill plug first . before removing the drain plug. the fill plug can sometimes be a sob to remove . any luck on the right side o2 sensor yet? just think when ya get all this stuff done you will be a veteran

I am getting closer on the right o2 sensor. I finally got a wrench that I believe will do the trick. I still haven't seen the connector on the right. How far up should it be from where I can see it? There is all that heat sheild stuff in the way.

After I get all of this done, I promise I will never lift it again--That is what I keep telling myself.

Roger, what I use is snap on SAM17A or CPT110A. It's easier to remove the plugs with the trans warm.

Jeff, what fluid do you use in the transmission?

I'm a BMW Castrol guy. I buy it by the case.

holy SH*t by the case , boss you a rich man . jeff is right about heatin her up and i got this one fro him also pull the fill plug first mmore than one guy has drained it first only to not be able to get the top one off. (eventually ) one of them was me on the o2 sensor its best to pull the right cossmember there are 4 bolts and a big nut engine mount .dont worry engine wont fall it held elsewhere also .you will be able to easily get to that connector .. is there silver cloth/blanket around your motor mount? this getting into advanced zr1ing .these cars are addictive .roger , headers, exhaust inj porting and plenum porting 410 gears hurst shifter and good tune . will give you the same feeling as you would get hitting a 1iron to 4ft 235over water on the last hole to win the tourna ment . watch out you will end up like me with 2.my car went from 331.9 rwhp to 409.9.
