Oil filter for break in period?
Oil filter for break in period?
This is just a simple filter question that couldn't exactly be answered via a search. I did a few internal engine mods and next weekend I will be firing her up for the first time in almost 3 months. Is there an oil filter that would be best for the break in period? I picked up two Fram filters since they are cheap and I will be changing the oil after 30 minutes and then 250 miles. I always use Mobile 1 filters but since they are going to be changed out so rapidly I figured I would save a few $$ and get the Frams. Should I use a filter w/ the anti drawback valve (or whatever it's called) and if so, what's the best filter has that feature?
TIA

After the motor ran for about 20-25 Mintues I pulled the filter off and changed the oil too.
Then after 500 Miles I replaced it with a new filter and oil again.
Besure to use convential Dyno Oil in your break in period. I was told by my engine builder that convential oil works best to break a motor in.
Hope that helps,
Claude
