At 2500 miles I changed mine with a premium conventional oil and I will run this oil for 2500 more miles. At 5000 miles I will then switch to Mobile 1 from then on.
The reason I do this is I believe the synthetics are just too good at what they do to allow the rings to seat properly during break in (IMO). Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk

Mobil 1 Extended w/K&N filter......I also use Redline. I still change at 3K - moreso due to that relatively small filter.

Nope never have and never will. I don't believe an oil change interval of 15k miles is a good idea on any car you care for at all. On my last car (2009 Malibu LTZ with the I4 Ecotec) I used it on I would go 7500 miles, but in this car I go between 3k and 5k miles before change pending how I've been driving her.

I just did my first oil change on the Camaro, but I'll use anything GM certified for use. The list is here: http://gmdexos.com/licensedbrands.html
Found a deal at AutoZone $17.99 for 5 quarts and a filter and added another quart of Quaker State full synthetic so thats what she gets this round. Couldn't pass up a deal and GM says it meets their Dexos requirements.
