    LS1 swap with nitros.
    Another for the 5k club along with tire rotation etc. it’s a cheap and easy thing to do at home, and easy to remember that it’s due at 50k, 55K, 60k, 65k etc.

    Are they ones with the torque coverter TSB? IIRC, they require more or bigger magnets?

    My 2016 has had the oil and filter changed twice. I only have a little over 16,000 miles. I will have it done again soon.

    I believe you can set intervals for the oil. The maintenance light comes on at 5k which is a good time to rotate the tires.

    I am going for about 5-6k on the oil changes or twice a year. I make some short trips and do some things that put me close to the severe service recommendations in the manual.

    About yearly since i’m not driving a lot. If I put on more miles will do around 5-6k miles. Though I may drop that to 3k miles if I start seeing more of those “manual says 10k miles it’s synthetic and the 21st century you idiot!” type posts, just for fun.
