[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4134458, member: 15054"] 30 minutes first oil change on new engine and then another change in less than 300 miles. Usually a couple hours of driving and I do the second oil change then I go 1000 or 1500 and then change oil and filter again then 3000 miles unless I beat on it hard and then it may be just a couple days and oil gets dumped. Never had any oil related issues except when in 2007 they removed the Zinc from the oil and breaking in a flat tappet cam i lost a couple lobes in 15 minutes of run time and then did it again and less than 15 minutes ruined cam and lifters again. That oil being ran with low ZDDP levels in a fresh build with a flat tappet is a real deal breaker. Driven Break in oil from then on and never another issue. My inline 6 Ford mustang (1982) went 376,000 on Havoline 10-30 conventional and still running fine.. the car fell apart around the engine, transmission and rear end. Good sealing air filters are something not to overlook. [/QUOTE]
