hi all..
i hav done 700 kms on my sx4.
till now havent crossed 3000 rpm
max speed reached is 95 kmph..
but used to giv some bursts in between at 2.5 to 3k.
till now every thing s workin fine..
had a plan to change oil at 100 but that time the oil was not available with the dealers...

The engine oil given by maruti for first change in sx4 is semisynthetic (0w30).so would it help in running in???
also can i change the oil to synthetic after 5000 kms (coz by that timei would hav completed driving with semisynthetic for 4000 km)??
