For what it's worth, just thought I would point out that my own dealer just went from a recommended 3750 OCI to a 5000 OCI for vehicles newer than the 2004 MY. Not sure why they pegged that year, 2000 would be easier to keep track of...but anyway, they are basically telling people now to follow the oil change indicator since it generally is pretty good at allowing folks to go around 5000miles or more between changes in most cases.
That seems to apply to the newer Pontiacs and GMCs that I work on anyway. Not sure about the Malibu or what changed with that.
Also, I would imagine (though I don't know this for sure) that the OLM is fairly conservative anyway.
