Thumbs up I just changed my oil and filter at 400 miles

K & N gold (it's a white can for some reason now, K&N # 3001) and Valvoline 20/50 racing oil, a standard non-synthetic for break in. My oil pressure jumped by 10 PSI hot, and stays higher longer !

I am not sure how much contamination my oil took, so that might be the culprit in the lower oil PSI, or it could have been improper wt oil as delivered. .. I had something small stuck in my secondary needle/seat, it was flooding out my carb at idle !

Initially, PSI cold= 75 PSI hot (200 to 210F) = 45 to 50 psi

NOW, after the change:
PSI cold = 80 PSI "hot" = 50-60 !
