Off the top of my head, I'd suggest reading the manual and following what it says... *shrug*

I mean... the engineers that designed it might have an idea of how to make it last a while... but I could be wrong.... nevermind... just drain the oil out, crank it up in the driveway and run the engine up to redline and hold it there a few minutes....
