[QUOTE="gone, post: 251086, member: 5899"] I agree: just after the break-in period (about 805 km) is a good time and what my dealer recommended, even though the manual suggests doing it after a lot more km. Page 295 of the 2021 C8 manual suggests you check your oil at 12,000 km and change it then, "if needed" and your onboard diagnostics will tell you your remaining oil life at any time. However this is a long-standing debate. Many think you just have to follow the manual/manufacturer recommendations and doing it sooner is a waste of time/money/materials, whereas others prefer to err on the side of caution and change the oil/filter sooner. So up to you to decide which "camp" you're in. For Canadians, GM pays for 2 free oil/filter changes anytime in the first year of ownership. The OP's dealer has volunteered a third which is nice. You also get 2 more if you have a GM Scotia Visa card. [/QUOTE]
