Re: how long?
500 miles or so of stop and go driving with not too much highway. Then do an oil change at 500 or so and you're ready to let it rip.

Not a whole lot. It's just safer to change a brand new engine for the first time at 500 miles to get out any excess materials from the contruction process.
