[TR] oil changin'

[wbeech]

Paul,

I should think that this is the best time to change.  Of course, as with any
new engine, you need to abide by all the break-in precautions and make the
first change very early.  You want to be sure to select the weight that best
suits your driving climate and style.

There have been a number of threads on the subject of oil in the past
months. Last may I held an unscientific survey just to tally what others
were using.  Below are the results from those who responded:

7 for Castrol 20/50
2 for Valvoline 20/50
1 for Red Line 20/50
1 for 20/50 (no brand specified)
And a very interesting treatise on ZDDP, thank you Jonathan.


Best regards,

Does it hurt a newly rebuilt motor to up and change the oil brand?  oil
weight?
Thanks,
