If you liked the engine changing experience, just change oil every 20,000 miles. You should change the oil between 7-10K miles or at least once per year prior to winter storage.
Did you follow proper engine break-in with your first motor?

No lease. We own it.
We followed proper break in procedure on the first engine and we are braking in the new one the same way. We keep the RPMs under 4000, no full throttle starts, and try to vary the speed for the first 2000 miles.
The old engine only had 12000 miles on it after a year and a half. According to the maintenance schedule it wasn't yet due for an oil change. Do you really think changing the oil once a year will prevent engine failure?
