1500 miles!! You've got to be ****in kidding me!
I physically cannot do it. I cannot keep my foot out of it for 1500 miles. I have 30 miles on it now am fighting myself to keep the loud pedal off the floor. This thing just wants to wind out!!!
The agony. Only 1470 more miles.

1500 miles is too long. I have yet to read why it is so long. It makes no mechanical sense to me.
Engine CTS-V is not 1500 miles Tranmission other cars are not 1500miles Mag ride No other models are 1500 miles rear end no gear manfacture I know of has this kind of milage What is unique to this car that drives this??? there is no way I will make it. I am not even going to try.

Too HOGNUTZ the answer is the oil now used is the reason the for a longer breakin. Mobil 1 is used and it is synthetic,so rings won't seat in till around 1500 mi. You may drain that oil out and put in regular organic oil and break in the engine much sooner but then it will be hard to switch back.

I've gone from conventional to synthetic on 5 cars now and never had a problem. The only time I've heard of issues is when people do the switch to synthetic on higher mileage motors.

Shouldn't be hard to get 1500 miles on it by the end of this weekend, remember this weekend is 3 day holiday so 500 miles a day would not be difficult.

It's taking me a lot longer since I don't drive mine every day. I've had it a little over a month and have less than 600 miles on it. I'd follow Fbodfather's advice. GM wouldn't recommend the interval if it weren't in the best interest of the owners.
