Oil change from what I gather is to be done at 500, 1500, 6000 or so. Could be wrong or overly cautious

From the 2017 ZL1 manual:
"Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is based on a combination of factors which include engine revolutions, engine temperature, and miles driven. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably."

ZL1 Break-in procedures do recommend a 500, 1500 mile oil change.
