Why would anyone put fully synthetic oil on an engine which has not completed breaking in? Also, if people are endorsing higher top speed with engine oil in pulsars, then that is totally misleading and false.

@Sudharshaninu: There was a case in Bangalore where the PBK service guys were putting xW40 grade oil in a brand new 220 DTS-i. If not for a friend spotting it, they would have put it. I suggest you get the oil change done in front of your eyes, and put 20W50 oil that they generally provide. You could move on to semi-synth/fully synth after 5000 kms.
