things to do before dyno day

Oil change only if close to whatever OCI you follow; otherwise, should be fine. Mobil 1 is fine. Plugs should be fine to 100K, give or take; colder plugs might

Mobil 1 is fine.

Plugs should be fine to 100K, give or take; colder plugs might be needed if you were going FI (i.e., turbo or SC), but not NA with bolt on's.

BUT -- do you have a baseline? If not, it will be much harder to determine how much you gained over stock from the breather mods (although you can compare before and after tune, of course).

What kind of dyno?

I'd have to dig and research more but we know these things "burn oil." Watery oil isn't good. You don't need a lab to see the pour rate out of the bottle. Based on a thinner oil flow rate and a motor notorious to lose some during OCI, I can't agree and say its fine. It might protect ok but you might end up spending more to refill and a number of other things that might happen which are just annoying.
