The wait is over..

There was another thread here, can't find it right now, that was debating the whole "change it out early" thing versus waiting. Some claim everything seats better if you leave

There was another thread here, can't find it right now, that was debating the whole "change it out early" thing versus waiting. Some claim everything seats better if you leave the original oil in as stated........ changing the original oil out too early and rings will never seat as good as they should. What to believe, everyone has their own opinions on this and break-in. Drive it like you stole it to seat the rings......... baby it like the manual recommends........ change out the original oil at 100 to 200 miles and again at 1200, change it out at 1200 ....... wait until the first recommended oil change ...................... eye yai yai yai yai
I just want it to be perfect lol

Well I'll keep you updated. I just changed out my oil with Royal Purple 5W30 and also I added Royal Ice to the coolant. So far the car is running smooth and strong. I have noticed the coolant temp does run a little cooler.
