Folks with Camaros still argue that oil is oil and the Engineer's don't know what they are talking about, it's all about money, etc. I get that a $120-$150 oil change every 5,000 miles isn't cheap, but it's cheaper than owning an exotic car.

All my cars do 5k oil changes, my 1LE was a CPO at ~1,500 miles. I got service records from the dealership previous owner went to. Oil changes done at:
- 4,400 miles
- 8,350 miles
- 10,500 miles (lifter failure)
Same oil & filter part number for 0w-40 used all times
