When I got my GTO, I kept it on the highway and had to drive about 100 miles or so to get home. So, I just periodically went from 6th to 5th gear to change up the RPMs, and took a detour or two.

After that, I got the oil changed at 1,000 miles, then at 3,000, kept up the 3,000 mile cycle until 30,000, and then at 5,000 ever after. I don't know if that's proper or not, but I have used synthetic oil since the 2nd oil change and she still purrs like a kitten (55,000 miles currently).

When I get the Camaro I'll have to think about following the DICs recommendations. Does anyone know if they're reliable? I'd hate to have a failure and then have the warranty voided because I didn't get the oil changed at a normal interval.
