Oil and filter change after VC gasket replacement?

drtmvr · 09-20-2019, 10:37 AM

Just changed the VC gasket on my N51. Engine was very clean but after wrestling the cover off I noticed a litte very fine sand on the intake cam. Wiped the cam before installation but forgot to relube the camshaft before I installed the cover

. Oil and filter are quite fresh. Should I change it or just run it and let the filter do its job?

Thanks

Just run it, you will be fine.
