Default New To Me 2008 Corvette

I just bought a 2008 Corvette with 27,500 miles. I was wondering if I should put a cleaner in my fuel for injectors if so which one. Any other thoughts on what service that should be preformed on car. Thanks for the help.

Change the oil just as a precaution skip any gas additives, check the air filter for cleanliness then enjoy it and stick to manufacturers maintenance schedule in handbook.

A lot of us put a bottle of Techron in a few times per year. Not so much for the injectors but for the fuel pump which is in the gas tank (you have two gas tanks). On sale at Walmart often for $5.00 so I do it every three or four tanks of gas.

Black and chrome, you can't beat that combination. Enjoy your new ride. It's a lot of car so get used to it. Enjoy!
