First oil change will be fine as said above.
 






To be on the safe side I changed it at 100 miles
600 miles still on dino I'm gonna switch at 3000
Oil change unless it would be better to do it sooner
 






Won't hurt to wait to the next one
 






Thanks just like the way it sounds on synthetic more smooth

Did not want to f up my new engine it's cherry
 






I highly doubt it has any effect on how it sounds.
 






The old one definitely sounded better at idle no doubt in my mind
Now the new engine may be no difference Idk we will see
 






On a freshly rebuilt engine I'd probably replace the dino and filter are around 500 miles out of an abundance of caution. I'd probably switch to full synthetic at around 3000 miles. By then any breaking-in will have happened. The main breaking-in that occurs is for the cylinder rings.

Just what I was thinking
