<P>Why change the oil frequently during the break-in process? these &quot;modern&quot; engines have full-flow oil filters, don't they?</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;I've just turned 15K on a new AVP in my '89 Westy-- no problems to date.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;It's my understanding that Jerry (Reno, NV) regularly refurbishes his
<DIV></DIV>&gt;vehicles with AVP-- and he certainly spoke highly of them at the time we
<DIV></DIV>&gt;were looking to purchase our van from him.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;One would hope your previous owner paid attention to frequent oil changes
<DIV></DIV>&gt;throughout the break-in process, but I wouldn't question the motor in and of
<DIV></DIV>&gt;itself.
