My two cents on a 1000 mile oil change, excellent suggestion. What I was taught at AFST (still have my id card) Association of Fiat Service Technicians, schools was to do this when breaking in an engine. The main reason is the tolerances of the engine are being used for the first time. That's bound to make more metal micro shavings or other contaminants in higher amounts. The motorcycles of my youth suggested the same thing and I'm sure Porsche does too for brand new engines. Think about it, if that wasn't going on then you would need no break in at all.

Better luck with the next powerplant and to the rest of you guys, may the Fix It Again Tony jokes begin...

PS Still have a fresh 124 sport spyder with 53,000 on the clock.
