hello!

1st engine oil change is crucial!
mostly it is mineral oil to let the engine run in properly for 1st 1k km.
do not skip.

They don’t do this anymore. Not perodua or Toyota or Honda. The engine tolerances are so tight now that the “mineral oil to catch metal shavings” is a bygone era story from decades ago. Engine break in is achieved at the factory thru better honing during the manufacturing stage that “sets” the grooves and wear pattern for the cylinders.

The 1k service check is just a formality/plugging on computer to do system check.

Which car don't have to do 1000km service? Toyota?

Perodua no need. First oil change at 10 k if i remember correctly. The manual only stated that the first one thousand km, internal friction is high so drive slowly/don’t rev the engine hard.
