If you read the articles carefully, they conducted the study on a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with 10,000 miles on it.

What we are discussing here is a car with 1,000 miles on it. People who have changed their own oil around 1-2k miles have posted pictures of the metal shavings in the oil filter. This is a fact. That's why I said change the 1st oil change should be performed around 1-2k miles. As far as the 1st oil changes goes the article is irrelevant. After that point, you can go around 7k miles depending on the driving conditions (Crossfire Manual). The article suggests that you can extend the oil change intervals to 18,000 if you top up the oil frequently and change the oil filter every 5k. Personally, I will get the oil changed every 7k miles in my SRT6.
