When to dump first C6Z oil....

[bjaber]

Regardless of what the owner's manual says, when would *you* dump the first oil?

Inquiring minds want to know

[IT L GO]

Change oil and filter at 500 miles. Then again at 3000 miles and then every 5000 miles or every 12 months whichever comes first.

I was told by my guide at the BG Museum, who has worked for GM for 33 years, that it is unnecessary to change the oil after break in. He also said don't worry about mileage or time, the car will tell you when the oil needs to be changed.

What I gather from that is that you can certainly change the oil at 500, 1500, and 3000 miles if you wish...I'm sure it's good for it. But it probably won't "help" anymore than if you just waited for the computer to let you know when it's time.

Oil is so cheap it aint going to hurt anything changing it at 500 miles for peace of mind.

its like buying toilet paper.. 1 or 2 ply...the answer is quite obvious...

The computer doesn't see all those little metal particales that may be there from the initial start up. I like the 500 mile change, 1000 mile and I change every 3000 miles. Just from the old school.

I changed my oil after the first 500 on every car I've broken in. Then every 3000 after that.

I've always done it before 1,000 miles on my new cars, and every 5,000 after that using Mobil 1, or Redline. I switched to Amsoil last year.

When the DIC says an oil change is needed.

[george]

Oil & filter, stockers like the LS6-7's or any of them at 200-500miles whatever your fancy.Then every 3000 miles or 6 months.

I install FilterMags on my filter on all my cars too.

On a fresh race motor we change oil & filter after 1 hr. break-in. But that's not necessary on these stock engines.

First Change - Definately between 500 & 1000 Miles
Second Change- At 3000/no later
After That - 3000 to 5000 DIC usually says 40-50 %
This gives you two flushes by 3000 miles
Always Change - just before or when you put the car up for
the winter if in fact you do. Never store with
anything but new oil.

Oil Change Interval - Two Schools - old & new

Old = 3-4 thousand miles
New = Go by the DIC that puts you in the 7 to 10,000 miles oil change window.

You Too Huh I remember you now...We went to different schools together

[NYCHASM]

Hey...just because you guys admit to being old farts doesn't mean you STILL have to be old school. We're in the synthetic oil age! Old school thinking SHOULD HAVE rode off into the sunset along with Hoppy, Roy and Tonto.

Are you all too old to listen to your DIC?:oo:

Nope that's why we drive Z06's Charlie. We got wood when we saw them and look at us now.
