By the way had my oil changed last 1000km with turbo xp fully synthetic which is a sucky brand. Had no choice coz the casa here would void the warranty if their oil isn't used. Your thoughts guys! Thanks!
welcome to the club sir, if your using fully synthetic, then top up will just be fine, but if you got extra cash, of course better to replace the oil, but top will certainly do.

I'm not against the use of fully synthetic, in fact all of our other cars use fully synthetic MOTUL oils. But I only do so after the 10,000km mark. I'm not stating this based on gut feel, but I did some research before. If you can't wait, maybe you can switch to full synthetic at the 5,000kms interval. Hope this helps. Proper break-in dictates how your engine will perform and consume fuel for the rest of its life, up until it's overhauled.
yes sir, some people can wait till a certain km reading for fully synthetic.
