go ahead la

not that the engine will break down if you exceed 1,000+ km before servicing

and read the book properly. mitsu mivec engine break in period is 5,000km ?

Service 1st

general advise to break in mistu engine gently

1. never revs beyond 3,000 - 3,500 rpm (this is the hardest part - u feel sleepy when driving soo sloooww)
2. always vary your speed (dun idle at 1 speed for too long)
3. let the INVECS III CVT works through its pace (it learns and adapts to your driving style after around 3,000km - personal experience)
4. dun hard accelerate (this is duh)

of course there are many ways to break in the engine, so you decide...

safe driving!

No problem one la.
Just dont keep on the same speed for too long. Example, 110kmh, then lower to 90kmh, then alternate it.
On a side note, I read about "power run-in" that actually to stress the engine during break-in period is actually healthy and better.
I forgot where is the link already.

no worries la...some people actually use long distance drives to help reach that 1000km mark sooner...i did exactly that too when i first rebuilt my engine.

keep revs below 4k n ull be fine....and as mentioned...vary ur revs n speed

Yes, just drive like you normally do, but remember to vary the speed and rev from time to time, dont stick to 110kmh all the way.
Car run-in also involve other moving parts of a car, not just the engine. So varying your speed helps the car run-in properly.
Have a safe trip, bro.

i guess no necessary for engine break-in with high rev and just drive as usual...

another reasons for the 1st 1000km service is due to the engine's metal debris may left out in the engine internal compartment while building the engine and after some friction internally while running... as i can recall gearbox oil required for replacement when 10000km even though can last for 30000km...

hence the new car may store in stockyard for 3-6 months and engine oil quality will degrade even though the new car no in use, that how the reasons of the engine oil statement of "5000km / 3months come first"...

anyway, i suggest service earlier before reach 1000km instead...

is the 1k km service official in the booklet?

some cars now come with first service at 10k already, filled with full synthetic oil
