| ![]() The way I followed, because I had to be on highway just one day after delivery. Keep varying the RPM, take the speed to 90, leave throttle, let it drop to 70 etc, make sure RPM doesn't stay in one place for sustained duration. Last edited by Gannu_1 : 11th June 2016 at 09:30.

I never keep the RPM at one place for sustained duration, I feel that it can do more harm during the run in period. | |

| ![]() I dont think so...ill probably go ahead with normal mineral oil, the same which has worked in all my old cars, with lakhs of kms on odo. Paying three or four times mineral oil just dont justify it. On the other hand, I can get mineral changed every 5k kms, and still will come out cheaper... |

| ![]() You own a Ciaz ZDi right? IMO all Maruti cars come filled with synthetic oil from factory. Maruti has tied up with Mobil to cater fully synthetic oil for Maruti petrol and diesel engines at a cheaper rate to have control on ownership costs. For diesel it is Mobil Super - 5W40 (MGDO) which costs ₹558 per litre and for petrol engine it is 0W20 (MGO) that costs ₹450 per litre. So the bill for a fully synthetic oil with 3.1L quantity would be ₹1800 where in mineral or would be ₹1000. 5k kms draining interval with a bill of ₹1000 is better or 10K kms draining interval with a bill of ₹1800 is better? Think about it buddy. Last edited by a4anurag : 7th June 2016 at 17:29. |

| ![]() VW recommends the below process for running in. In summary, it prescribes just 3 basic things. 1. Dont Rip on a cold engine. 2. Dont max rev the engine before 1000Kms. Keep it below 4000rpm. 3. Dont overload the engine by lugging it I happy adhered to the recommendation of VW for most of the part. Except when on highways. ![]() Still, Kept it under 4K RPM in top gear. ![]() Quote:
It was ripped straight out of showroom, till the time it was sold. (yesterday to be precise). 60,000 Kms of ripping, and it still managed to survive the ordeal with just 1 clutch overhaul. Only in the last 5K Kms, it showed up signs of old age i.e. performance loss (cranks bearings, piston, piston rings etc gone). Last edited by abhishek46 : 7th June 2016 at 18:12.

Thats some news to me - MASS clearly said that all maruti cars come in with mineral oil, and the approx cost for Synthetic 3.1L was around 3K+. I have an upcoming 10K mark servicing due - can you share some screenshot of old bill, or some artifact which I can throw on the face of MASS? | |
