Hi, I just bought my 2017 RS v6 camaro. Right now i am at 1,000 miles. Car had like 70 miles when i got it. Should i get my oil change now and then at 2,000 and then every 5k after that? Please let me know. Thanks!

When the oil life drops below 20% then do it.

Same.

From what I’m reading around here, the only people who change it right away aren’t enthusiasts and die-hards... not mocking anyone, but if I’m warrantied as long as I follow the directions in the manual, I’m happy!

The digital performance supplement for the ZL1 says to change at 500. The hard copy says 1500.

1st one at 500 miles. After that do it whenever your gauge % gets low.
