Question about factory alarm
I just bought my car last Thursday. 2000 Z28 with an auto. 2 Questions.
1) When I hit the lock button on the keyless, the car honks once and flashes the lights. The strange thing to me, is that after about 15 seconds, the car honks twice and flashes the lights again. Is this normal? Does anyone know if it can be changed?
2) I changed the oil and filter for the first time today. I checked the book and it called for 5.5 qts. of 5w-30. Does everyone use 5.5, or do some of you put all 6 qts. in?
Thanks!

if you press the lock with a door is open it will honk once and when it is all closed it will like confirm it is armed, thats when it honks twice. i will usually press lock on the door panel and when all the doors are locked it will only flash the lights. or if you close everything and then press the lock it will honk 2 times. as for the oil i have put in 5 and end up putting the other one in later. and sometimes i just put all 6 in

So it should honk twice!
So, in your cars, the car honks once when you hit the button, and then after a few more seconds it honks twice more. Total of three honks. I'm just curious because it's kind of annoying. When I go to someones house, they think I am honking at them before I get to the door. It just seems weird!
