Do we really need oil changes at 50 miles and again at 350 - 500 before the 1000 mile service / check??
I note the comment that oil was clean as a whistle at 350 miles. Isn't this sort of saying the oil is still ok? If the oil was getting dirty then I could understand why it was necessary to do a change.
This 3W is going to cost plenty in oil if not careful. Just as well I have the Aero 8 to keep the costs down (!)
