jz to check, if in paper written mineral oil and next service is next 5k but actual should 10k.
if unlucky after 5k and before 10k, ur engine give u problem, will tcm push the blame for not following servicing schdule?

normally u dun use SO for 1st servicing bcos the oil is for run-in.
a lot of particles, same as 2nd to 3rd servicing.
Use only SO after 3rd.
But it's still up to individual after 2nd.

if you got money, change oil every 100km and use fully synthetic also can.
