rev slowly to max 3K let go max again let go for first 1-2K can already.

What you guys say...Kah give w40 engine oil...perhaps stick with it until I go change oil at 5K mark?

My old jazz, was on mineral for 1st 1K and 5K servicing. shld be doing the same for GE.

2 types available... synthetic (used up to 10k plus) or mineral (use for about 5k must change)
for me.. after 1k servicing i change to synthetic straight. lazy to go for 5k servicing...

u make a point there. anyway what's with all this mineral oil. what semi syn and full syn. Pardon me, am totally lost.

super summary

mineral as name suggest is close to 100% real oil

semi synthetic is about half fossil fuel based oil and the other half is chemical based

fully synthetic - fully chem based

aight. But, when to change what? sounds confusing. lol. bear with me. totally new.

1K - mineral
5K - synthetic(according to ICE)...some kiasi one...semi synthetic
10K - synthetic

there are also 'thickness'...thicker = more protection

w50 - thickest means engine more sluggish but max protection

w40 - in between the extremes (Kah uses this thickness)

w30 - thinnest...engine response good, protection not as good.

I think there are better brothers out there who can give a better intro.

Wonder where Chaicka go to...

using mineral is to 'wear off' the engine... and technically make it run at it best. Cos when it seat in the ship, residue may form inside the engine... so got to make it 'work' harder to 'clean' off these residue...

But this is all subjective... easiest is refer to the servicing maunal

Basically you just drive normally, increase your speed graually and increase RPM until 4k to 5k. After 1k, send for full servicing including change of gearbox oil so as to ensure your vehicle is in good condition. Spend a littel more.

Reason why you can drive up to 140km/h and rpm at 4k is, before you drive your car, engine had already been stress before mounted on your car body and dealer or supplier had already drive your vehicle around, from pt a to pt b or even to inspection centre for inspection.

correct.. the key point is not to sudden rev up ur RPM... just slowly gradually increase speed/rpm... else is just normal driving patterns, and let ur car understand ur driving habit as well!
