Default Basic question

I tried doing a search, but got so many returns and nothing that answered my question, which is:

I have a Vortec S/C from Andy at A&A/Oxnard and was wondering how often I should change my oil. I was thinking every 3,000 miles, but wanted to see what you guys recommend.

Thanks in advance.

I installed my A&A kit (S-trim) and took my car to Next Level Performance to get it tuned. They told me to change the engine oil every 2500 miles due to the added S/C.
3000 sounds good to me.

I do mine at 2k as that is when my mechanic has me do it. This is about the time my RP gets dirty and it is cheap insurance
