When you look at GT-R, the user manual recommends oil change only twice as often for heavy duty (track day) use, and recommends changing it immediately if you hit 280 degrees (?) or above if I recall correctly. So, there you have it. As long as you don't cook your oil, you don't need any of those crazy change intervals, and I don't see why LS3 would be any different  |
Sounds like the GT-R has a real oil cooler.

Otherwise, that twice-as-often OCI recommendation is generally in line with the difference between "normal service" and "severe service" for most cars where both intervals are specified.
