Just follow the booklet. it says 10k service interval, so i follow it to ensure my warranty is intact. However, for the 5k between the 10k service, i go for simple service outside.

1k, 5k, 10k -> all in Proton SC
15k -> outside service
20k -> Proton SC
25k -> outside service
30k -> Proton SC
and so on...

This way, they won't know and they can't say I didn't follow the schedule and void my warranty.

well..the booklet stated 10k is fully-sync that proton recommended to use but as for the receipt it depends on what engine oil you change most of you guys are using semi-sync so, i believe the receipt will automatically print out 5k service interval, but fully-sync the system will print out 10k interval...
just my wild guess....i might be wrong..no offence...

my persona got some prob..

at morning after warming the engine..before move i will on the aircond..

1. but when car start moving the aircond turn off itself for few second and on back...happen several times..

2. one day..as usual i start moving my car..the aircond on automaticly in high speed but i didnt swith on the aircond yet..what the??

issue 1 still happen everyday..

anyone face same prob??
anyone already settle the prob??
anyone know what going on??

you are wrong.
it is stated in the car booklet to use semi syn and the viscosity (forgot how to spell) is stated as well. I asked this with the SC before and they do say service every 10k and the car is not suitable using full syn oil.
in fact, even my friend's new vios service every 10K km although using semi syn only.

so to be on the safe side, i still go for simple service for the 5K between the 10K km service

hi, may i know what is the size for persona foglight blub? H3 or H1?

thanks

Hello guys..wanna ask one thing regarding persona car

Last week I send my sister persona to service.I complain to them regarding when the aircond compressor turn on the sound from engine bay is quite noisy.

After when check by the SC, they say that Belt Tensioner Bearing need to be replace...and total damage including installation near to RM 500 d.

My question is..should this thing covered in warranty as the persona haven't reach 3 years or 50000KM yet...even its reach..It still have EWP.I think I kena rip off d

isildur88

hope u get ur car soon LOL i heard alot of time with this from my agent all white lies....

err...the tensioner bearing should be included under engine warranty right...
fight back bro. the tensioner bearing is easily fault. luckily mine one already changed under warranty.

which part of the booklet states 10k is fully synthetic? i didn't see it anywhere at all.

Dont know when my persona facelifted will be arrived as I booked it last week?!

when u do outside svs..did they change the oil filter?as i know..myb they will use non proton oil filter..so when u get ur car svs to sc myb they detect u changed outside already since the oil filter no more same....
just my 2 cents..

it did not state whether its fully sync or semi sync oil use for each service but if u look at the service booklet, the next service after the 10k is 20k. so it is assume the SC use fully sync oil.

i think this is what loong2020 trying to tell

Like that cannot assume lo. It's black and white already. That means nothing concrete. So following the 10k service interval is legally correct in this case lo...

Hi Guys... goin for 1k service now... Wanna get some advise....

Since my next service is gonna be 5k, I thought of puting shell helix 10W40 semi-sync...

1. Will SC accept this engine oil that we bring OR void warranty since not using petronas (semi syntium 800)
2. This engine oil good FC?

Thank you in advance for advicing

I hv been using this oil since my 1st service. It is called Shell Helix HX7 Semi synthetic. It's pretty good oil and common...it's from Shell of course it is. But many SC do not carry such oils as usually they will recommend you to use Petronas oils which is heavier. The authorized service agents for Protons does carry this helix oil though.

Just make sure that they DO NOT OVERFILL your engine oil which they really love to do so and swear by it that "Campro engines need full 4 litres of oil" bullshit. It does not...and it's a cold hard fact.

lupa tanya....the car u booked is the previous version persona or persona elegance?

Thanks for sharing the information. Ya i will definitely tell them not to overfill. if they were to listen to us and supposely take back some 100-200 ml balance..

Currently FC clocking 6.9, town driving and ramping below 3k rpm on the initial Engine oil from factory (unidentified)... hope can do better than that, not yet do country drive. I think FC will show better result...

My SA just call me and said they have metal grey M-line MT(which is the colour i wanted) . Hopefully can get the car soon.

Anyone know how to check whether the car is 2010 manufacture or earlier?
anyway to check?
