I disregard the DIC completely - 3500 miles or so.
That might be inefficient, wasteful, and contribute to global warming, but it's what I do.
I actually like working on the vette.

I will change it at about 25% unless I am going to be running in a major race - then I will change it before the race.

One thing to remember is that you need to change the oil at least once per year - even if the DIC doesn't call for it yet

I change mine every 6 months, so twice a year..The old rule is every 3 months or 3k miles but since it's synthetic oil I double the time rule since mileage driven is very low...
