On a new engine the oil and filter should be changed immediately after the break-in run. Again after about 50 miles, then after 100 miles. This is to assure that all minute particles from machining and break-in are removed. Use a good oil filter. I prefer WIX brand. I suggest straight 30W oil until around 2000 miles. After that, if you prefer running a synthetic that would be the time to change over.
