@ 1500 (break in==> good idea) then every 3K (see Owner's manual pg.10-15)
*or no later than 1 year.

And to 'reset'...instructions are also in pg.10-15 of manual:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.

The system is reset...

*BTW, that oil filter is tinnny considering it's for a V8 6.2L...just say'n

With all my cars i put about 800 miles on them and then bring them in to change all the fluids. At that time I switch to Mobil 1. After that I change the oil once a year ( normally put 1500 / 2000 mi on them each summer ) or every 3000 mi.
