I’ve always changed it after break in. Partly from piece of mind. Mostly to look for metal in the oil and filter.
Me too. Since this oil ZDDP fiasco started, I now break in a flat tappet engine with break-in oil, drain it, change oil and filter and use ZDDP additive, and then change oil and filter and add ZDDP again after 500 miles.
