Oil changes with rebuilt engine

[Steve Jones]

Based on the above I think I might be a bit obsessive but:

Never, ever, let a new engine tick over. Drive it over a variety of roads increasing the load and the revs progressively.

First change using the cheapest oil I can find, 2 miles.
After that, second change using a basic 30 oil after 30 miles.
Then straight 30 oil for 12 months.
After that, Millers Classic 20/50 changed twice a year.

It might seem a bit much but my engines don't burn oil. Oil's a lot cheaper than engines.
