changin oil while breakin in new motor?

[Out_Sider]

how often do you change the oil and filter when breaking in a newly built (hi performance) motor?

[JDiablo]

after every half tank of gas if your obsessed:D

[99_300ex]

ya but i would say maybe once or twice becuase there is prolly only a very limited group that changes it every tank of gas lol .

[Out_Sider]

im thinkin about changin the oil and filter after the first tank, and then again after the second tank. then wait til about 2-3 more have been thru it to change it, then switch to synthetic
