for export purpose....

yeap.....the red ones are is decent to protect and keep the car in tiptop condition....and airfilter,sparkplugs as well

depends on the SC......try taking eneos semi 10w40....for that, i had used before..the oil consider thin compare to different oils........its not bad....lighter pedal...or u can just get Mobil Super 2000.......its much better......im had changed 2times, engine remain smooth as baby butt

RM98....yeah..still ok..but 10w40 or 5w40 is the best in terms of protection and lightness.....


btw....with full tank of petrol, and driving style rev till 4000rpm, 80km-130km, 70% city ( mostly straight road but jam,slow traffic,heavy braking and housing area or street) and 30% highway...i can get 310km++...
aircond on all the time and automatic.....

and i feel that the higher the mileage the better fuel consumption and going topspeed is much faster....btw the current mileage is 38325km

connector loose...can diy or send to SC.....they will tighten by using wiring tape

ok....based on my experience since i had used eneos 10w40 and mobil super 2000 10w40......well i would say both oils are good.....but due to the availability of the engine oils, mobil is easier to get and both are price around the same price Eneos RM97 & Mobil RM98(RM93 after using smiles card)....
acceleration wise both pretty much the same and i felt mobil super is much lighter and rev happy......if u want to get mobil, make sure purchase it ONLY @ petrol station.....

mine is non-iafm automatic also.......most of the time will touch 190km with no dropping gear and hard revving...just smoothly pressing the pedal.....when wanna go topspeed, just turn off aircond...it give less stress on the engine and thus, it will give u more power.....if u on aircond, it will reach 190km or (195km) (tested on klia with 3people in the car) but slower compare to OFF completely.....

total 2 bulbs on the left and on the right....the most outside bulb is braking and normal light......go get it replaced.....mine after so long nearly 2years..the bulbs still ok...havent burn yet..

try to avoid castrol if can....cause there are too many imitations/fakes...which you cannot even differentiate it well....but the oil is good..la...but for me, i rather get some other brands that can purchase @ trusted shops like petrol station kiosk where the chances of getting fake is unlikely....

erm, at first pump...the effect can felt a bit different...but after 2nd or 3rd tank....i feel its much better than bhp ron95x2......havent compare with shell or petronas so im not sure.... the 10w40 is semi-synthetic......the oil is just nice for FC and also protection for campro engines.....

well using caltex engine oil with caltex fuel.....maybe better...BUT i dont think it effect so much...some may say yes some may not..up to the people view......

This post has been edited by loong2020: Sep 14 2009, 05:22 PM

me ok je......coming down the highest part i drop to L and let the car roll by itself and with some braking (cornering or humps) and slowly switch to 2 when the rpm is high...and i dont experience lock tires....using stock brakes?? and what tires???

previously was conti cc1.....went up 2times with my friends......ok..la..i would say BUT...its also easier to lock if the road wet and want to corner... but never experience it on genting trip..... now with PP2 havent test yet on going up...maybe when holiday... but PP2 on wet even brake harder it wont easily lock.... ......aiya..persona stock tires 195/60.....change it to 195/55 like me....comfort wise still not bad and better handling also...less floaty feel when speeding........

using Mobil Super 2000 10w40 semi-synthetic....@ RM93 after discounted frm smiles points..... well i think will just stick to this engine oil as it give lighter acceleration and trusting that Mobil lubes are good....if you want better protection, can go for Mobil 1 0W40 which costs RM245....

erm....yeap..but not much around 1-2km.........but its ok..la.......... but frm my gps, lets say meter is pointing 100km/h...the gps unit will show around 97.1km/h

i mean i'll change every after 5000 or 6500.....

..i watch a few videos of urs.....but why dont u take manual??..its better for acceleration and power..... so far hows ur automatic gearbox despite u revving non stop uphill and downhill every week right???....

tires, hankook nowadays not bad...why not try some other brand besides the two u mentioned??..if budget nt a problem get better sets....

multilink..la bro....only saga blm,savvy,exora uses torsion beam

as my mileage when i got is around 38km..so try to check the mileage if its too much lets say 150km/200km above then it could be some other unit (but i may be wrong).....
below 1st service which is 1000km, try to be gentle on the engine and accelerate below 3000rpm and speed below 110km/h as what normally people say...but for me,i had speed up to 150km before 1st service....i dont think is an issue....
as for the service at Service Center....reject those useless item like "engine treatment,oil cleanner,screen washer and etc"...normally for 1000km,5000km,10000km.....the item need to be change is only "engine oil and oil filter" other than that is not necessary... and after 15000km, items like sparkplug,air filter is only needed to be change for 15000km service..even u can change these at 10000km but its up to you......

erm....maybe some unit is test drive as the mileage is high....but im not sure also..haha... yeah u can bring ur own oil, normally the SC will use petronas or shell oils....checking the car,erm basically check everything that is workable... ...eg: like power window,lights,engine oil,coolant,brake fluid, those switches,panel indicator, slam the door for few times see any problem with it, bonnet....and interior parts whether is fitted correctly...

and since u said want to use ur own engine oil, what brand u want to use???.....as normally semi-synthetic is sufficient enough for daily driving which cost around RM80-RM100....and the 1000km,5000km,10000km service cost will be around RM 100-130if u select "engine oil and oil filter only" just to advise u, if SC ask u do take service package, just tell them, you want to do oil change only..as i think the 1st 3 service is enough for oil change....
