hey guy; i think u got it wrong

the front digit/figure or the oil doesnt mean the weight of the oil le. its the operating temp of the oil at cold start.

n the front figure is usually applied in cold countries and for us; makes non much of a difference.

below link to some oil info.

wtf!! very pissed man.

Today I get my new waja cps, the car got so many problems.
1. dashboard the leather not fitted correctly can see foldings around the curve and the worst part is that there is hold in the fu*king dashboard leather. Failed QC and PDI.
Their solution: wait for proton offical to come check the car and then only see when to help me fix it

2. then inner trim panel on the passenger side have some paint peel off.
Their solution: wait for proton offical to come check the car and then only see when to help me fix it

3. the triangle cover's color on both the back passenger door is totally washed out.
Their solution: spray black paint.

4. glove box/arm rested is very shaky like not fitted correct.
Their solution: check and say it is like that, cannot be fix. wtf?

5. the rear windscreen got alot of wash out mark (looks like kena rusty water). Cannot be remove via normal wiping.
Their solution: polish and use solvent, clean most of it but still have some.

6. Exhaust pipe look rusted.
Their solution: nothing they can do. wtf?

Really disappointed with proton. Now want to apply tint also cannot, coz have to wait for them to fix my dashboard first.

I will never buy another god damn muthafarking proton. First and last.

wow... awesome info. probably i'm explaining it the wrong way.. haha.. thanks though.

for us NA;

usually ppl stick to 40; but u can try 30; but always monitor ur oil level. if by the end of the 5k interval service time frame n ur oil level is still quite full den u can go ahead to use it.

some engine tends to burn off the oil easily

depends on the engine condition as well. newer engine n those that are well kept should have no issues with 30 weight oils.

Oh? But 5 years warranty la, who cares claim and claim and claim!

better stick to 40 ...u know la..convoy with u guys tend to burn alot of engine oil,tyre and petrol..... ahhahhahahha....

I have a question about petrol, is that true Petronas Primax 3 is more suitable for our CPS engine than other petrol brand? Currently i'm stick to Shell.

Nope, Shell better.. Also fuel meter more accurate!

But I'm using EssoMobil now, better economy..juz lack the 'ooomph' when wana CPS~
Nowadays always stuck in KL jam, so RM50 for 280KM is better than RM50 for 240KM (Shell) or 225KM (Petronas) right?

agree on shell and petronas... never try esso... more km using shell esp if u mix v-power with shell hijau.. hehehehe

Any petrol will do. CPS engine is not like baby stomach, it won't diarrhea if takes the wrong milk. So no worry.

Hhhh... Full tank of Shell last me about 320KM....Petronas gives me a bit more millage 330++ mind you this is for 90% normal driving.... if say spirited I see way less~ like 280KM per full tank.

IMHO, all petrol give me the same mileage except for Vpower. The main factor is the right foot.

ur car also drink petrol hor...full tank 90% city 320km.???mine i do tht in rm60 100% city drive in ipoh,330km...

Blame it on the start stop traffic laaaa..... tekan abit then jam.... tak sampai 4k rpm 2nd gear already traffic in front. If you try do constant highway 110Km/h I bet can reach 380KM full tank.

haha....thats y tt n trip cannot being hell in short period...need to saving alot 1st, wakakaka..

4 me more mileage...but since 17'' anybody here interested to swap with me?my tyre continental 215 45 17..just amonth old...??but i want 16''(miss my very short memory of 16'' day) ....

esso mobil good??coz my uncle work with shell more than 20yrs but he use essomobil on his all car .....thienwu,can mix2 good ker???if can bring more mileage...y not

best answer out all above hahahaha....

Mine can reach around 450km with Shell...never try use other brand...dont like campur2 lorr

eh...the v-power comes with less litre with same amount of $ that's y less mileage

Not much of a difference because a full tank of vpower gave me about 800km while primax 680km (100% highway driving at constant (almost ) 110km/h).

mix city+hway drive if full tank shell i can go up to ard 480-500km.. full tank petronas can go ard 450-470km... mix up vpower + hijau (i.e rm 30 vpower then tmr fill up shell hijau until full tank) can go 510-530km... but then now i can only get ard 450km using shell and 430km using petronas..
