I was told every 30,000 but I got it changed after 6 months to make all of the metal shavings were gone from the original fluid.

I changed mine about 1500 miles. Lots of junk in the oil. Do not wait especially if you have an SS

I changed it Royal Purple two weeks after I picked up the car.

I was getting antzy, it was stuck in the garage due snow for 2 weeks (plows don't pass in Richmond). So I changed all fluids, installed the skip-shift, Hurst Shifter, shift eliminator and went over inch of the car. FUUUN

Keeps you in low gear - works sorta like a speed limiter - good when you have teen-age drivers
