You will get a lot opinions on this. I would change it after the first day of running and take it easy for a few hours. Oil is just liquid money right?

Changed drive fluid on XR's after first time out....
Found lots of fine metal dust or almost sludge on both magnets.
More fines on the lower magnet.
Drained out the Blue Merc and filled with Amsoil.
I use the magnets that are 3x stronger from Ron Bender.
