Gonna put 500 miles on this new engine and would like to have a MANN filter
on while I do it.  Got plenty of those on hand. There is one on there now
that is Fram but which one I don't know. Would prefer one  I do know.

QUESTION: Can I change that filter without dumping all the oil in the sump?
I expect to lose the oil in the filter.

QUSTION: What weight and grade would would be best for the extended
break-in such as this proposed 500 mile run. Might change out what's in
there  depending on the recommendations of our list guru's!

Thanks

John
