I have the OnStar Diagnostics set up on my H2 and my wife's H3. Very nice system.
As for the oil change, I use the in dash meter too. When I go in and get one of those silly stickers on the window saying "Come in in Another 3,000 miles" I tear it off. As Fstop mentioned, I think it's very safe to trust the system. Why would it be there otherwise!? It obviously not helping the dealers any, and if you follow it and the engine siezes up, that's not really helping GM either. So let the computer control your life... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

....How true... When My friends start bitchen about the cost of natural gas and gasoline....I laugh... I don't care..that's when I turn up my thermostat and fill my tank and drive even more. I do the "Oppisite" ..Like the Seinfield episode...(OPPISITE GEORGE) Where he does every thing oppisite.
A friend of mine was getting on my case about buying a HUMMER...He called them gas Guzzlers..
This might be true...but this is America... the land of the free..So ...Drive your Hummer and enjoy what you have reaped..!
I also have a 65 Corvette with a GM ZZ502 Deluxe Crate Motor..That's 502 CID and 502 HP..
And I'm proud to say it gets 13MPG.. Of course that's because I also have a 5 speep OD Tranny behind the Motor.
Gas....$3.00 A Gallon... No Problem... Bring It on... Here In New Joisey.. we Have the Higest Property Tax And Car Insurance in the Nation..
Might as well enjoy whil the stuff is still flowen..

Viet....you are so right..I am in NJ as well and actually when my wife and I picked up the H3 a woman walked by and said, "People still buy these". My wife told me on the way home I wish I would have heard that......I am sure that I would have had a comment that would have had issues......
I get so much joy from people looking at my car and saying, "That uses so much gas!" and I reply that it gets around 18mpg and they are shocked.......so who wins in the end...
