right after head gasket job. i usually wait like 3hrs run time before i change again after a head job because i use diesel fuel to clean everything while doing the job and some always gets left behind so i just change the oil and replace the water with coolant after running for a couple of hours. when i changed it the oil came out as thin as water and BLACK!!! but now it is good to go! well as far as drivability...
