Hello to everybody!!

Since I am now approaching 1000km with my new Puma I am wondering about what is the maximum revs I must have in order to break-in the engine in the proper way when I am on highway and for how many kilometers before I ask for full throttle

Another concern is that the dealer told me that I have to visit them for 1st service including oil and oil filter change after 12.000kms and no earlier. Isn't it a bit too late for first oil change ? Especially when Greek diesel quality is not considered to be among the best, the contrary might be true.

Thanx !

Hello and welcome to the L/R ownership.I got my plates yesterday although I've owned the vehicle since August last year.It's a new seven seater import and what a nightmare to get it on the road.I've allready done 5000KM'S (demo plates) and changed to oil at 1500km and yes,the norm is 12000km's.I used to own a Oil Agency and there is no way I will leave any oil in a engine for so long.First at 1500 then every 6000km's,and not such a extra cost per year to it.

If you are driving motor-ways,the main thing for me is not to sit on a steady speed and constant rev's.Vary your speed and rev's on a regular basis.After 2000km's start giving it some stick.I believe at the end of the production line,the engines get "fjthgjftghreureiias" :blub:So who now's,maybe we are not supposed to pamper them.I remember when I built a new engine for my V8 I was told not to exceed 1500rpm for the first start up,but the Piper camshaft wanted no less than 2000rpm.

The Puma is great vehicle,enjoy it.
