Did you drop the oil pan and scrape /clean it thoroughly? New gasket?
If it was me, I'd run the first oil and filter for 500 miles max then
go to a regular schedule. The new oil was a high detergent oil,
correct?
For the price of an oil change (and filter) it's cheap insurance.
I'd be looking at changing any rubber hoses, gaskets etc. in the fuel
system too.
When you say replaced all the hydraulics I hope you mean new master
cylinders, slave /wheel cylinders and not just the brake fluid.
Sounds like a lucky find. Enjoy!
