I'm kiasi so I will only drive normally till 10k service. After 10k :evil: will try out the S mode to 6-7krpm

For 1k service MBM put in semi-syth oil i believe.

Bros,

In any car manual, the run in period does not specify u need to drive within certain speed range for the 1st 1000kms. It is mainly to allow the car to run in gradually...as in u should gradually increase speed at the constant pace and try not to jam yr brake suddenly unless emergency.

U k actually go beyond the stupid 100km/hr limit that many pple had been passing down the generations and god know who say it!!! No logic..

I drove my car up to 120km/hr within the 1st 1000 kms n nothing bad happened....

So, go ahead to drive but watch yr safety....IMO, it is always good to push yr car up gradually and not RAM it up.....

Enjoy yr drive and feel the power.....cheers!
