I've no owners manual, and I'd like to know the recommended service schedule.
The previous owner told me nothing about the services so far, but the oil life remaining says 22%, and the odometer is about 21500 km, which is 13,430 miles.
What is the next service? and when?
Forgot to mention, it's 09 Coupe Z51.

The owner's manual specifies Mobil 1 oil. I change the oil on my C6 once a year. REM My vette is a garage princess with almost 6K miles in 18 months. Again, owner's manual recommends oil change no longer than once every 12 months; sooner with higher mileage or severe driving conditions. I think every 3K is overly expensive and not necessary.

Most of us who _drive_ our cars change the oil every 5,000 - 8,000 miles.
