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.

Damn, maybe I'll listen to the computer than every 5,000 miles than..... Well actually, maybe I'll just do it 5,000 miles anyway just so that in my mind, I feel like I'm doing the right thing lol.
Regardless of my situation, that's pretty sweet... Thanks for posting that up.

That sounds awful... 35,000 miles every oil change? Are you doing a engine rebuild every other oil change too? If not then you're going to have a crap load of sludge if that's what you're doing...
