Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - If I could turn back time, I would change my oil at 200 miles?

So, after my break-in (1200 miles), and spreading my legs for the infamous Ester oil (almost $100.00), I changed my oil.

I was bored; so I open up the oil filter. Guess what? Particles do exist.

Now, I am wondering what damage (of course, little) those particles created. If I recall correctly, a few decades ago, it was recommended to change your 'factory' oil at 100 miles....hmmmmm!

Does someone know that those particles, once trapped in the filter, would 'never' escape the filter? I wonder how much more particles are in the engine now!
