I'd say 2 - 3 oil changes if you go by the book and there 10 hour use then change

I did this for first few then I do it every 70-100miles i use synthetic no problems so far

That ? is like asking what oil is the best, you'll get a 100 different answers and none are wrong. I always drive it normally but just don't WOT it until over 100 miles. That way of thinking has served me well. Remember WOT isn't good for a HS motor if it isn't rev limited. They have grenaded on folks in here over the years. Congrats on your new 53cc motor. Great MAB motors!

I'm still waiting for mine to asplode, I have a bad habit of riding tucked down WOT like I'm in the MotoGP.

Use a regular non-synthetic oil for the first 100 miles or so, then switch over to synthetic. That way the rings will seat properly. If you start with synthetic, they never will and you'll have problems with blow-by.

There is always the option of using a clutch lever with the lock button as a throttle. I wouldn't advise cruise control though.

I used to think like that about dino oil for the 1st few miles. Do you know most car manufacturers use syn oil from the factory now.

Good advice here, I like to do short runs on any new engine, 2 or 4 stroke. I put it through a couple of heat and cool cycles before I do longer distances. It may not do anything but has worked so far.

Heat-cycling the engine and avoid long idle is the ticket. Load that thing.

A Drainzit HON1010 can make oil changes easier.
