If you run a product like AMSOIL you can get away with leaving the oil in the motor for long periods and not have to worry about the oil not performing after long periods of time.
look at the Zrod oils.

It is 5+ months old and has 2,900 miles on it. I wanted to get the first oil change out of the way. I show up for my appt. and service adviser says GM won't pay for the oil change until it is down to 20% of service life. Mine is at 62% (per the computer). By my math (could be questionable) I can't get my first oil change until the car is about 11 months old with 6,000 miles on it (at the current rate I am driving it). I can't imagine guys that have to park it over the winter and use it on weekends only, who knows how long it would take them.
So, my question, is the dealer not wanting to do this oil change or is GM really not giving you the oil change until you get to 20%?
BTW, the service adviser had not heard of the Camaro Key Fob recall.
