ya rite 10w-30 less noise...very pandai la those ppl.... i've used 0w-30,10w-40 and 15w-50...so far 10w-40 is the best....

perfect???

eh, my mistake last post, my engine now using 10w40; sumtimes got ping sound, yeah, around 5% la if u all want the statistic

later might wanna change to 10w40 but diff brand. there are lotsa possiblity, to experiment one by one, need to wait until next oil change

guys..will u explain to me 10W40 means what..
if im not mistake..my car use 15W50 i think...(not really remember la..but the number "5" i still remember)
what does it means..? which is better?
and..anybody can suggest me the good tint for a car..
i plan to change my current tinted..
wanna change to more better one..Vcool or Aircool mayb.

10W40 or 10W50 means the viscosity of the engine oil, viscosity in simple terms is the thickness of the oil. the 'W' is the viscosity of the oil in 'winter' conditions, so in theory the oil is thin when cold as in winter cold. The lower the number the thinner the oil.

The W rating actually doesn't apply at all in Malaysia where there is no winter at all.

40/50 is the viscosity when the oil is hot and also means it's thicker, around 100C where a normal engine operates. This is where you have to pay attention, inside the manual there is a table showing the oil viscosity MINIMUM for a certain ambient temperature. In this case 40/50 is sufficient, too thin and there will be metal to metal contact.

These oils are called multi-viscosity oils, which actually aren't needed, you can use single viscosity oils that only have a 40/50 rating.

There is no better or worse only the CORRECT one, 40/50 both of which are correct will ensure your engine gets sufficient protection.

Based on manual,10w30 is for CPS... For campro iafm they recommend 20w50...

For CPS engine, the best performance, smoother ride and the best fc you gonna get is by using 10w30... I've tried plenty of grade before, 10w30 is the best. But i used 10w40 because shell dont have semi 10w30... And i'm not going for petronas...

The worst lube for CPS engine is 20w50 mach5....

dear all,
i wonder if the new gen 2 m line got abs?
if so, it would be my top consideration...

All this while they have been providing 15W/50 to me..so when they switched to 10W30, I was sceptical..but then the acceleration was better and the cold start was better.. So I guess it's worth the RM4 extra~

do not buy trestor advantage brake pad for gen2. This brake pad sucks to the max. Very noisy brake pad after 18000km mileage.

pergh...gila saving...see how long u use la...u want the brake pad to tahan until 40k ka...???

18k mileage produce noisy sound. The pad wear off 30%

go try ferodo brakepads...front pads i change every 10k,back brakepads every 20k....

been using bendix.. bought from a seller in our forum.. satisfied with the pads ~

im still waitin for a DIY fix for the rattling(bunyik besi) aircon vent.No one?

Mna tans sri shazmn?

http://gen-2.net/index.php?action=printpage;topic=117.0

tq but didn't help at all.
Mine even if din turn on aircon it will have the rattling noise when engine is idle.bunyi plat besi.

I think old Gen2 doesn't have the problem cause it's aircond vend design is different.. Pity 2008 onwards Gen2 owners...
Anyone found the solution, please share.. and another weird thing is Persona owners doesn't face that issue..

Don't understand their conversation

Same here...

Mine is year 05.
I dono wat noise but it's coming from underneath of dashboard.
When idle,our steering tends to vibrate right?at that time i can hear sumting like 2 metal plates vibrating/hitting each other.

yeah, y does the steering vibrate when the car is idle, and stop vibrating once the car is moving??

No one?
