You were doing just fine. Don't let the worry warts mess with you.

I did mine at 5000 miles, and will probably do every 5k. 

same here, always went 5k even whenall the rage was to change every 3k yrs ago....never had an issue with oil related failure on any vehicle

 

in fact even on my 19 Silverado after 5k oil ddidnt look all that bad

1401 miles, but I was getting ready to drive 3870 miles.  Second one was at 36% 6150 miles, but I was getting ready to drive 2600 miles.

I did mine around 4300 miles. I was going to wait until 5000, but I had a quiet day at the office one day and just decided to get it done.

on brand new motor not such a big deal.....pretty sure they run these motors breaking them in b4 they hit dealers, they do on motorcycles.....will say I did not pull 8 qts out when I did my oil tho, GM skimped on amt of oil from factory, better to have little less than too much tho….I pulled 6-6 1/2 qts out of mine

 

don't think brand matters much as long as you change it.........jiffy lube wanted $120-130 to change mine....so ill be doing my oil from now on, lol....start buying 5 gal containers at wal mart

Just did mine at 1250 miles,  they gave me a free oil change with the purchase, so I figured why not.   Might be kind of old school but it can’t hurt.  
loving the 6.2 and the 10spd.  sounds good, feels strong.

Whatever you see fit. Lots of opinions out there. I change mine when the OLM hits 0% whether it’s the first change or it has 100k.

Bought Pepper with 1300 on the clock from a dealer. Oil was changed on delivery. Found receipts in the glovebox for oil changes prior. Mileage not stated. Same dealer. Changed again at 2500 then every 5,000 since.

On my 14 5.3 I peeled out of the dealer lot with 100 miles on it and didn't change the oil until it was over 7k miles.   Beat the pants off of it for 100k miles and just traded it in for my SLT 6.2 back in June.   I don't think changing break-in oil is much of a thing anymore.  I have always ran Amsoil SS even though I bet cheaper oil could have produced similar results.  Bottom line:  Check your oil level!  All DI engines burn oil even if some guy says he ran for 12k miles and didn't burn a drop.  Secondly, change your oil at some reasonable interval (Not 3k miles and not 30k miles.)  Lastly I would say just use some reasonable quality oil.   That being said, I changed the oil in the new truck at 1100 miles.  I hope your are genuinely confused now.
