Almost 6000 Miles -

Hey guys,

So i keep getting emailed from the dealer saying that I need to do a 5k Tune. Now, i already had my oil changed at about 2k.


I want to take extreme care of my my baby, but at the same time I do not want to dump money away to Chevy if I don't have to.

CAn someone inform me whether i need to do a tune at 6k?

Check the owners manual, what would this "tune" cover?

Seems to me anything that needs to be done at 5k you can do yourself.

Cheers

There's no 5000 mile tune required. Look at the maintenance section of your owner's manual. The dealer just wants to make money off you for nothing.
