You left out key information in your brief summary that is important as a start for diagnosis:
a) You mention "when" you had the oil changed but there is no mention of how many miles you put on the car since that oil change. "When" makes no difference in this issue ... it is miles driven since the last oil change that matters.

b) How much oil should be put in your v6, per the Owners Manual? Is it six quarts? Did you look at the service record to see if it documents how many quarts they added? Maybe the service department just dumped in one gallon and forgot to top it off ... e.g. not realizing it needed 6 quarts for the Camaro V6?

c) After the engine failure did you drain the pan to see how much oil was left in the engine at that point and time? Information on how much oil actually remained in the engine at the point it failed, is very important. (Also good to save the oil for analysis).

d) What is your "normal" oil consumption history per 1,000 miles? Based on this figure and info from "a", "b", and "c" above you may be able to determine if it would be expected to fail due to low level ... or if there must have been some catastrophic event in the engine that triggered the problem.
