    Engine temp before oil change?

    sure but how much cold 0w20 is realistically going to be left in the pan compared to warm 15w40? as long as you run the engine long enough to circulate the oil thoroughly, i'm not convinced it matters much whether you reach operating temperature or just drain cool but recently recirculated oil.

    do the additives get picked back up if you drive enough, maybe a few full throttle blasts after fully heat soaked?

    Oil breaking in a 454

    some people say you don’t need a dedicated break in oil, some say you do. but no one says a break in oil will hurt, and it will cost you what - 20 bucks more than something else, at worst? i say use a break in oil. i doubt it will make a difference, but for a few extra bucks it will make you...
