Did my first oil change at 500 miles. When for the next one?
Have 17 z06 did my first oil change at 500 now have 1200 miles. I was at a event this weekend and met several z06 owners and they told me to change my oil again at 1500 miles on a z06. The chev dealer told me to do the next oil change at 5000 miles or one year. Which is correct.

I did five oil changes in 8,000 miles. One at 500 miles and thereafter whenever the monitor dropped to 10% or less. Personally, I would pay attention to the oil life monitor and change the oil accordingly. There's no way I could go 4500 miles between oil changes -- I use lots of revs per mile that drive the monitor down fairly rapidly.

What kind of event were you participating in? A track event? The rules are a little different for track events since you need to change to M1 15W50 oil for track use.
