I changed my oil at 1500mi and will be following the OLS indicator. You can bet that GM did their research and has plenty of testing to validate this oil life calculation - they wouldn't risk putting their reputation for engine reliability on the line.

My job deals with Preventive Maintenance optimization and using condition-based maintenance is the most efficient method and I'm sure there's still some safety factor built in to that calc.
Thanxs!
