Hi guys, thanks for the useful responses...

Im in London, UK...

I was advised by the engine rebuilders to change the oil after 500 miles then normal servicing...I change it usually every 3,000 miles...
They told me after 1,000 miles i could drive it hard...but i think i like the idea of the 2,000 mile mark instead...what are the advantages of doing this?

but i think your advice is correct...maybe change the oil every 500 miles up to 2000 miles...

Is 15w 40 to heavey then? What brand and viscosity should i be using then?

thanks...
