[QUOTE="Vulpecula, post: 24944, member: 1840"] Old School would do first oil change at 1,000 miles. That was before precise CNC machining existed. Just to feel good, whatever manufacture recommends, half it, then do your regular schedule from that mileage. I did that and was very meticulous with oil changes, synthetic and oem filters, and guess what? Around 70,000 miles I started to burn a little oil with a full fledge 1qt per 1,000 miles around 90k+! Turns out the piston rings were inferior and the internal computer schedule for oil changes was incorrect. I kept my own detailed log. Whatever you do on your own, MAKE SURE YOU KEEP RECEIPTS FOR EVERYTHING, filters oil etc., and a good log! Good to have them for negotiations, GM rebuilt the motor, for free! They had a BIG problem! I still have my 2011 Equinox LS with 165,000+ miles! I'll save the other issues fr another day, Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
