  wat do u mean by engine run in? how many km consider as run in? 5000km? 10000km?
  
  and also i heard that when u buy car, starting the FC will be very high cos engine not run in yet.. after engine run in the FC will be lower is this true?
  
  i also heard that when u 1st buy car they will use mineral oil for ur engine oil, after driving for how many km then change to fully synthetic?

  u can use fully syn immediately on ur 1000km servicing.up to individual. but usually 10k km service den use fully syn to allow the engine to run in fully
