i think you can check the oil indicator... all of the cars do have one... you need to run your engine for few minutes, then turn off engine and check the oil indicator. the oil should be in the recommended zone area, any reading not in the recommended zone means you have to do something about it.

my persona warranty mileage only shown as 50,000km in their system.

i thought the warranty should be at least 100,000km?

The part on Oils explained and Oil grades should make interesting reading -

i thought we should check the lubricant oil when the engine is cold? all this while i am checking it when it was cold in the morning. because if the engine is started, of cos it will should lower level as the oil start to stick on the other parts in the internal of engine. we need give it sometime for all the lubricant oil to drop to the base before we get the measurement. as for the automatic gear oil, i know it need to let the engine warm up first before we take the measurement. correct me if i am wrong....

ur rite. 4L is even good enough for a 2.0L car. Remember my wife's Camry using all of one pack of 4L.

I have already done 2 oil changes, one at Proton Edar Jln 223 & another at dealer off Jln. Kepong using my own oil. I poured out about 300ml of my own oil into another container before going to SC. I think the 4L pack actually contains more than 4L.

Some interesting reading about over-filling of engine oil -

The SC's I went to had no qualms about me using my own semi 10W 40. Explained to them that the oil I am using is also a Proton vendor, Delphi.

actually is a interesting info to share on this... usually the mechanic (not proton service center) will do this way... i don't know why, seems that most of the mechanic will warm up the oil a bit then only measure

[/quote]


ya, why huh? the catalog of the persona says under 5 years warranty or 175,000km which ever comes first... how come the bill says 50,000km only???
i did ask the SA last time on this issue, he said that the first 2 years is warranty under proton, and the rest of the 3 years extended is warranty under alliance insurance. And the other thing is, What is the standard service interval? The catalog says is 10,000km. is it true?

heavencloud,
who kick dirt to me, i put shit on their face. As simple as that.

I test drove it in Tg Malim and see it myself....it is good. I'm ready to trade in my old Ford.

uiks... did u ask the sc about it?

ermmm.... i think logically better check the oil level during hot. This is my own theory, but let say you measure during cold just barely touching the max level, by the time the engine is starting and heating up, the oil molecule composition will expand thus creating an overfill situation.

yes you are right...best is too check the engine oil level in the morning before starting the engine....other than that, even you off your engine for few hours, it does take sometime to get accurate results...so best is morning when its cold....never crack the engine yet..... a lot machanics does not know the way of checking it which they normally start the engine to make it run for few seconds, then check....

as for the automatic gear oil....warm up the engine, then shift P>R>N>D>3>2>L by pressing the brake then shift all the way back to N and leave it for few seconds and check the level...

Added on March 6, 2010, 12:30 amyes....3.7liters is the accurate engine oil level needed...even 3.5liters is more than enough as it will be slightly lower frm the max line...

What you stated is all correct. And yes and yes again and again..... checking engine oil while it has been stopped for quite a while eg. 10 to 15 mins or so..... and early morning before engine start is THE BEST time to check. That is the real oil requirement of the engine. Nothing else.

There is no rationale behind the theories other than this. PERIOD.

maybe tomorrow i take a pic of it at night and post here for u all to see.
it's indeed very nice

The only thing nice about the facelifted model is the indicator light integrated into side mirrors.

I still dont fancy the front fascia, too overly odd for a car like Persona.

any of u suffering from brake judder / vibration? shit man..... mine judder / vibration during braking from 100KMH or more....

Steering vibrate meaning front disc brake and brake pedal vibration is rear drums.... both out. Shit man...... why????????????????

Proton does cover this for warranty right? Current mileage just hit 10k.

Later go SC check front right driver side wheel kik kok sound.

hope can solve it...

i forgot to ask, maybe ask it next time, just realize it when i do filing at home

yesterday i just collected my car from SC for 5k service and bodyworks, guess what? my rear brake drum tick sound is finally solved! They finally fixed it no sound clicking and my whole brake system is now a lot better than before (just press a bit on brake pedal straight away can feel the force is pulling back the car), guess i no need to worry for changing a better brake pad even my handbrake i just need to pull up with 1 tick sound is sufficient enough to stop the whole car from the steep area very satisfied with their job now. They even help me to install the orifice valve for free although its not 100% fixed.


the knocking and paintjob are nicely done as well, no one will know my car is being knocked before
