      and then after you run a few hundred miles, change the oil again.

      checking/changing other fluids as well: diff fluid, tranny, PS, brakes, etc.

        flush out everything and then drive it until you almost empty the gas tank... then I'd refill the tank with some seafoam and change oil again.
