    New C5

    Hey guys, just got an 04. Enjoying every bit of the ride. I have a few
    questions:

    I drive it one day during the week for about a 200 mile trip (highway), and
    then on weekends for fairly short distances around town. It's typical to sit
    there for a few days without being moved.

    Any recommendations with these driving habits?
    How long should I wait to dump the oil for the first time?
    I think the dealership uses Mobil 1, but does the GM use Mobil 1 or do they
    go a cheaper route?

    Thanks guys,
    Dom

    I do it every 90 days at the longest, and did my first change at 500
    miles.
     

    GM is Mobil 1.

    my only recommendation is: on the short trips make sure the engine has a chance
    to warm up to operating temperature. normally this takes about 12 miles.
    depending on weather and such, heck round it off and make it 20.
