I've rebuilt several engines in my time and have always changed the oil and
filter after the initial break-in, 500 miles and 1000 miles as per the
advice of an old engine rebuilder. If this technique has done any good or
not I can not say but...
The oil has always been clean there after, never black and sludgy between
normal (3500 mile) oil changes. And, I have never had any oil related wear
problems after putting many thousands of miles on the engines.
