Hi guys

I've currently got around 270 on the clock, but will be doing an 800km round trip on the weekend. As this is the first car I've actually owned I've got an amazingly retarded question: will going over 1000km before the 1000km service affect my warranty in any way?

Cheers

(oh btw, anything I should be aware of on a long trip? Will I need to top up the oil after the first leg/tank of fuel?)

 

That's something you need to ask your dealer. If you're in the ballpark of 1000 then I expect you won't have a problem.

I'd be surprised if it's drunk much oil to warrant a top up... but it's probabably good to check it every couple of fills until you get a feel for consumption. If you haven't checked it since you picked it up then I'd check it now, just to make sure your iniital level is correct.

 

what do you mean by long trip?
hope you arent planning on using the cruise control, stay in a particular gear for a long period of time....

 

Hey there...my car had done 1,500kms when i got it and then by it's first service it had done 1800....they just look at it i think, nothing major....but as has been pointed out.....don't do the long trip on cruise and at a constant speed...your engine won't like you for it.....I told you....FOTW you need to get out more....mine is up to 4,300 kms...and ticking over like a dream.....errmm have to check the oil now it's been pointed out...

Have a safe trip and have fun driving....
