Hi everyone,

I am going to buy a new car (1.6 auto).

Based on the sales guy, after 1000km I will need to service.

I heard few people say different opinion. So i decide to ask the experts here.

Should I drive fast on the 1st 1000km? Like 110km/h as much as possible, consistently on highway

or

Should I drive 90km/h and below?

Some said tekan oil hard hard once a while is good. Hmm?

I assume this concept works for all cars 1.6 engine.

Any tips? Thanks.

thanks for everyone opinion.

i am getting a kia cerato 1.6sx, i didn't post on the car club coz i want a neutral opinion. i assume it's gonna apply to all 1.6 car. I don't think this car is turbo though.

so basically i drive in between 90 - 110 will be ok right?

coz the sa told me that if i don't sometimes once a while press the pedal hard hard during the 1st 1000km, the engine lama lama become no so efficient. Hmm...
