Default oil change

I have a base 2000 vette. can anyone give me the oil change interval including filter? also, how hard is it to change the front turn signal bulb? I was thinking 7 to 8 thousand miles. I am not hard on my car.

Go by your oil life monitor or change it once a year whichever comes first. It's in your owners manual. As for the filter it gets changed every oil change. Turn signal bulbs aren't too difficult. I don't know if you can change them from the top but if you put it on a lift you just need to remove a few screws holding a plastic cover on to get access to them if IIRC.

Change your oil when the oil life monitor tells you to, or at least once a year. (Which ever comes first.)

Turn signal bulbs can be easily reached by removing the access panel in the fender liner, and then pushing the brake cooling duct forward a few inches, so it's out of the way.

I found this to be the easiest way to access DRL lights and fog lights.
