Type of oils for Duramax?

[Hantans]

My LBZ 07 Duramax has not had its first oil change yet, it has 2856 miles right now. When should I change the oil?
What brands of oils is best? What I know of is Amsoil, Delvac, Royal Purple and Rotella.
I have been running it hard with the Bully Dog, AFE intake and exhaust and I think it may be time to change out the oil, do you not agree?

Rotella T6 is one of the best, and inexpensive.

While it's probably "safe" to go 10k with synthetic oil, I think 7500 is plenty.

2007 with less than 3k?? For real??

Kinda strange that someone joins CT to ask about oil for a truck..

Kind of like joining to ask about putting in a pool.

If it were mine, I'd stick with chain and bar lube - but only the Stihl brand.

If you ain't changed it in 12 years just roll on don't worry with changing it now

Take it to the dealer, the first oil change is free
