i change oil/filter after 1st 20 min "break in" cycle. Assemble lubricants, residue are in it

then 500 miles, 1500. 3000. Then every 3000

some feel less...it's your motor

I usually run conventional oil for the first few oil changes before switching to a synthetic.

I used conventional and changed it 3 times. Shortly after 1st startup. Before the dyno. After the dyno. Then went to synthetic shortly after.
