Default Assembly Lube

All,
I just finished my cam swap to SE255's.... My question is, should I change the oil right away or should I run the motor for a little while before I change it. Due to all of the assembly lube I used to install the new cams....


Thanks in advance

Felix

run it for about 50-100 miles and dump it. Assembly lube won't hurt a thing.

yep, mtclassic is right. the amount of assembly lube used is a very small percentage of your total oil capacity. don't worry, you could even ride it till your next oil change is needed, which is what i would do.
