I ran PennGrade1 SAE30 break in oil for the first 400 miles. Today I changed the filter and refilled with new break in oil that I will run for another 200-400. I will then switch over to synthetic.
This oil has a dark green color when new and it drained somewhat similar.
I cleaned out an open oil drain pan before draining the oil and then ran a strong magnet through it to try and find any metal. None found.
The oil catch pan that I installed under the oil filter is amazing. It keeps the oil from making a mess.
I do need to buy an oil filter wrench/socket tool. I have very large groove joint pliers that I use right now.

When I did the H152 swap, I also tried to modify the injection pump to match a manual configuration. Earlier in the thread I replaced the lever (22701-17590, 22701-17591, or 22701-17592 depending on required angle) and idle up assembly (22305-17140) since there is no kickdown cable to the tranny with the H152. The last part was to replace the lever spring (22728-54010) and install a return spring guide (22728-54010) that is not present with an auto.

Comparing the manual (left) vs auto (right) springs. The spring guide also pictured.
