Okay thanks for the info guys! Map recommends changing the oil at 50 miles then 500 miles. So maybe ill run the break in oil for the first 20-50 miles then change it then run the rest of it that I have until somewhere between 100 and 250 miles then change it again and switch to a conventional for 1,000 to 1500 miles then switch to synthetic.

And I'll get her tuned at like 500 miles
