The price is standard if u service at Proton SC, so u are not conned. Ur oil is semi-syn...

Thick oil can give more protection, and it won't make engine 'dirty'...but in terns of car pickup, u will feel a little bit heavy compare to those 10w40 oil.

Petronas is main sponsor of Mercedes GP F1 team, do u still think this brand is so bad? What made u so bad impression on this brand? Out there alot of others 'unknown' brand oil actually very good in quality, so buy the oil that suit the engine but not the brand.

Thanks for ur info..but i think semi syn oil is not better enough...but is fully syn..the price is RM180 for Petronas Syntium 1000..the grade is same like 800..15w50..i really duno how...tis is my 1st car...and i wan it to get the best for it..but..my pocket sure will heavily damage if use Syntium 1000 =.="

I've been blasting the radio since I got the car on Saturday. This morning I decided to drive in "silent" mode. Conclusion: I suspect I have to change the alternator. Got unusual whirring sound that I wouldn't have noticed with the radio on.

During breaking-in period, occasionally drive your car in silent mode. The quieter the better so you can listen for any strange noises.

Lolzz..the 2nd day i got my car i already set up my full sound system already biggrin.gif
