And in the SVC where I visit, the waiting room and their work place have a glass in between, and later they called Me and showed the container, it was between 650 to 700ml. They have also returned Me the oil in the container, were I need to put it in again!
    Loss of compression could be anything thats damaged or is weak inside the block , be it valves, rings, gasket or even piston, crack in the head. You need to ask the svc to do the compression test. If I am right the low level of oil and loss of compression are connected. Dont want to scare you, but ask the svc to check your cylinder and piston kit thoroughly after 500kms and do note the oil that comes out at that time.

    Disposing engine oil is there headache, give the oil back to them, Honestly why would they give the old oil to you or else go to local shops and tell them you have oil m if it could be any use to them, they could take it.

                  You should have bought HID with projector. Afaik if you use only HID its a H4 bulb, but in HID projector setup there is H1 bulb. If what I know is correct you will have to get a new h1 hid projector. For AE, these days every projector comes with AE pre-installed. Shell AX7 is very good oil. But drain it after 2k km.

                          The bigger the projector the better the focus. In RTR we can use a projector as big as 3"
                          Call Debraj, he has some offers going on as well

                          @Iceman_1 5k km, but mine are still going on (odo 6K)
