1st oil change within a few hundred miles.
I'd change it after the 20 min idle period you should do on any first startup to check for leaks, over heating, etc. 2nd id do within 1500 miles. then there after at 3000 mile intervals. I wouldnt go over 3500 rpm. this should limit you to 75mph, too. Once the engine has logged 1500 miles (the 2nd oil change) drive normally. Thats how I would break an engine in, at least.. dino oil for the first few changes as well, then synth after if you want -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
