Since this is a modern hand built engine that is factory filled with Mobil 1, most of that does not apply.
I would suggest changing the oil sooner the first time (1,000-1,500 miles). You won't hurt the engine running it hard after it has reached operating temp. It will probably like it.
Have fun!!!
I agree! (Especially the part about having fun and liking to run it hard!!) The point is to not 'baby' the new engine. I believe in "Use it - don't abuse it!!"
Per these tests, ( http://www.amsoil.com/performancetests/g1971/index.aspx ), Amsoil appears to be slightly superior to Mobil 1 in most tests, but provides a significant 18% less wear in the Four Ball Wear test! After a full break-in I would switch to Amsoil to reduce future wear as much as possible.
So, you consider the V engine to be of higher quality?? How about other components of the V package??
