I just did my first oil change in my new 2017 SS. Based on advice from some of the powertrain engineering hardware engineers at work I targeted the first change to be 1,500 miles assuming it should be nearly fully broken in at that point. A 900 mile weekend trip forced me to change it a little early.
I followed the owner manual's break-in advice up to the 1000km (621 mile) mark which was no heavy acceleration, do not exceed 68 mph, vary speed regularly, limit engine braking, etc. At the 621 mile mark I started using full power/RPM range on the engine and some driving over 68 mph.
I did cut open the factory PF48 oil filter, maybe I will take pictures and post those somewhere on here too.
