10000k Engine Change

[ATRIOT]

Anyone notice a difference in their Ep's once they pass the 10000km mark? More Responsive? More Power? Nothing at all?
Just wanted to know if the ECU does kick in a different A/F map after 10000k, some say yes others say no.

If you use dino oil it happens faster, synth happens slower... if you're feeling something different it could just be the engine finally getting broken in and 'comfortable' (that's my word, not a real 'car' word :D). I've never heard of any different fuel maps kicking in at specified mileage but then I'm not a real car person.

Good response. I am a fellow non-real car guy. But I am learning. When I reached about 11,500 miles, I noticed the car just felt stronger and peppier. I didn't know why for sure, but I was assuming the car had finally broken in and loosened up a bit.
