Just got a new car for the wife, X-trail. Serviceman said, "take it easy for the first 5000k's. Has running in oil you know, bring it back at 1000 for oil change" What about filter I asked?"Nah, that happens at 5000.
NO!
Sales guy says. "Give it a good run, hard if you can"
I said, firt oil change at 200ks with mineral mono & filter, then same at 500, and at 1000 if you won't do it.
"He says I guess you'll be bringing the oil to be used for services then?"
For the record at 200 the oils was definately contaminated, clear at pickup (6k's  )
Better at 500, should be clean at 1000. Am I a freak, probably but I bet it's clean as and bedded very well.
