It will take me a long time to get 1,000 miles on the new engine. How soon can I change it?
Also, any problems with running synthetic oil? |

When we run a fresh engine in the stand. It gets about 20-30 minutes of run time to heat cycle the engine and then put in the car. Engine oil is changed for each new engine.
We only run Dino oil in air cooled engines. Usually Castrol GTX classic. |
