1st oil change on rebuild Q
 

Ok...on a rebuild with atkins seals, is it absolutely necessary to change the oil at exactly 500 miles? I'm asking because I just hit the 500 mile mark and i'm about 100 miles from home. Will the extra 100 miles affect drastically anything?

yes change it when u get home.. 100 over won't kill it

Just change it when you get back...

Anywhere between 500 and 1000 miles is fine

no, it'll blow up at 550 if you don't....


:p:

uhhhhhh LUBE SHOP! DUH! just double check everything after they're done.

ugh no.... i don't want him taking my rebuild to a jiffy lube engine pop-a-shop...

That's not true, its actually at 549.8 miles on the odomoter. Didn't you check the FAQs first? :-)

LOL at all the replies! :D

Thanks guys for the answers!
Don't worry Ben...I wouldn't DREAM of taking my car (especially a fresh rebuild as precious as yours) to a jiffy lube engine pop-a-shop... ;)

lol :)

even if i had a 100$ car i still would not ever go to jiffy lube ...
