Thanks for this Mission_Safari.
But then why do they not suggest the oil change before 2nd service (7500) kms. Wouldn't the scrapings/shavings damage the engine?
I understand that TBHP recommends getting engine oil changed at the first service itself, but I am still confused why Fiat does not recommend it. Is it just to lower the cost of ownership of the vehicle by introducing extended service intervals or it is pertaining to some technical reasons that I am not aware of?
