Default First oil change 05 Silverado

How many miles would you reccomend for the first oil change in a 05 truck? I currently have a little over 600 miles on the motor. Or should i just wait till i hit 3000?? Thanks

Joe

My first change was at 500, then 1000, and then every 5000 since. So far 20000 miles and using 5w30 Valvoline Synthetic and AC Delco PF59 filters.

seems like you would want to run a regular non synthetic type oil
more than 500 to let everything break in properly

alot say to do it a t 500 them 1k. I did mine at 2500 the first time and every 3500 after that, No problems yet. When i do change the oil it doesn't look bad at all and i put a decent beatin on my truck.but at 500 it wouldn't hurt.

I changed mine at 3k. Everyone does it differently and at different intervals. I have ran Valvoline synthetic since day one.
