The First
1000 Miles
During your first thousand miles of driving, you can, by
observing a few simple precautions. contribute greatly to a
longer life for your Corvette and add much to its future per-
formance and economy of operation.
It is recommended that your speed during these first one thousand miles be confined to a
maximum of 60 mph . However, do not drive for extended periods at anyone constant
speed,
either fast or slow. During this period, avoid full throttle starts and quick, abrupt
stops. The first few hundred miles of driving are especially important to proper brake
operation. Gentle braking during this period will allow proper conditioning of the brake
linings and result in longer brake life and better brake performance.
It is always best to drive at a reasonable speed until the engine has warmed up. Be par-
ticularly careful to maintain the proper oil level in the engine. Check the oil level
freq
uent ly and, if it becomes necessary to add oil, follow closely the recommendations as to
quality
and viscosity found in this booklet. Use of the proper engine oil is of great impor -
tance to insure maximum performance and economy.
