[QUOTE="tomme boy, post: 335359, member: 11342"] Just remember this. When you change the oil, you are starving the motor for oil for the first few seconds. Over time that adds up. Running a motor with no oil is not a good thing. That is what you are doing every time you change the oil. When I built my race motors, I changed the oil after 30 minutes of run time because of using special oil for the cam to break it in. After that it got changed every 4th trip to the drag strip. But your not running 700hp of NOS either. You are going to hurt the motor more changing it that often. It has already been ran at the dealer and the oil drained. There is your first oil change. Change it at the 20 hr mark. The check engine light will come on when it meets the 20 hour mark. [/QUOTE]
