I thought the knew the recommended amount stated in the booklet is 3.75 liter ? I heard from some people that usually service center they dun buy per bottle they usually buy in a whole barrel and use a machine and pump into the engine ? is it true ?

Android .... best!! Senior Member 1,112 posts Joined: Jan 2007 From: Kuala Lumpur	Just checked with the dipstick , I think the engine oil level is ok agam agam with the max line Added on September 16, 2010, 8:50 am » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(jasondotcom @ Sep 16 2010, 01:12 AM) - in fact anywhere between the low and max line is absolutely fine. anything above the max line is NOT. There is a reason why the max line is there. It is not to be overshot by 1cm or even 1mm. Max line means max. Never exceed it. in fact i prefer my engine to be half filled rather than max filled. why? much lighter engine.... really makes a lot of difference. -yes u are right. more less that kinda scenario.... For over 10 years driving owning couple cars and driving few others.... i always have problems with workshop mechs OVERFILLING the engine oil. It goes from bawah pokok mechs till the soo called "pros" in Service Centres. My ex MyVi....... always overfilled. Screw them all the time. Now my Persona. Same thing. Some more telling me in the face that CAMPRO NEEDS 4L of engine oil SHIT?! Last service i went it goes like this:- Mech: draining the oil... Me: eh, later dun pour all the 4L oil into the engine. Leave out some.... me showing how much to leave out Mech: Oh okay. Me: Observing.... Mech: Time for refilling...and started pouring the oil Me: Eh remember ah dun overfill. Just leave this much out....me showing it again how much to leave out by hand Mech: But Campro engines need all 4L engine oil.....continues pouring...... Me: eh please.... dun gimme that nonsense ok.... who said? It is always OVERFILLED. That i have to go to the trouble of getting it drained the next morning. Mech: Mb u bought the 5L pack? Me: Look.... Campro does not need 4L of engine oil OKAY. It is stated in the book and the last time one of u did that it caused me having to drain it out the next day. And it was way over the max line on the dip stick when checked early morning. Mech: Ok ok.... puts down the bottle.... check dipstick.... noticed that its not max level yet. Me: Its ok... i will refill it later if not enough. I know what i am doing. Mech: Checks again and started engine letting it idle for while before shut down. Rechecks the level.... Me: Keeping a sharp eye.... Mech: Reaches the bottle again.... and started to pour.... Me: eh enough i said.... (after shown the level on the dipstick).... Mech: not enough later ur engine jam.......continues pouring..... Me: Look man, i said enough is enough ok! ENOUGH!!!!!!! me snatching the bottle away from him Mech: Ok ok.... then finish up everything else before passing the keys to me........ What a fing idiot....... CAMPRO needs whole bottle of 4 liters of engine oil BULLSHIT. you should have snatched the bottle and said let me do it haha QUOTE(taq_gt @ Sep 16 2010, 03:55 AM) Any user persona already reached 50k km here got vibration at stereng n pedal when u rev to 3k rpm?firstly i thought tires out of balancing,then i stop my car n rev the engine to 3k then the vibrate come.anyone knows why?

(By referring to the pic below) [attachmentid=1783644] 1) is there supposed to be any light on the power windows switch when u turn on the headlamp? (YELLOW COLOR CIRCLE) coz i could only see light on "Auto" (RED COLOR). 2) wat does "Auto" on the driver's power window switch mean? (REFER TO RED COLOR) coz like other car such as my mom's honda supposed to be auto moving down n up if u press the switch deeper. any one or b-line users can provide me answers..? -The whole unit only the 'AUTO' lights up but very dim -Ours Proton only design Auto down but not auto up QUOTE(chteh0721 @ Sep 16 2010, 04:16 PM) previously u use what engine oil ? synthium 800 ( 15-50w) is the heaviest among other engine oil that i'm using er , before that I dunno cause from the factory ... dunno what oil they use whats the best one ?

YES , can't be consider as 'feel guzzler' unless u drive like there is tomorrow my last ride (P2 kembara) is the 'drinker' guzzler more fuel even though 1.3 and lighter body .. as due to the engine ..

X1R again sure they will suggest those , I rejected before the service but then when its time to pay they already pour into the engine and charge me Semi-syn is more than enough they give u Petronas Syntium 800 Yes they are still in raya mood SVC Puchong that day I go , only 2 staff attend customer at front desk and the worker inside the service bay was chit-chatting This post has been edited by wilsonjack228: Sep 18 2010, 01:18 PM

Shouldn't that means it can handle corners better? Or it's just a gimmick?? By the way, may I know if it's OK to fill the tires more than 32kpa? What happens if it goes above 32kpa? Reason for asking is because it looks quite flat even at 32kpa for the front... Our PE does handle corner very well , I think not a marketing gimmick la » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(lhongwuh @ Sep 18 2010, 10:57 PM) My car kena bang today This is mine: spot the damage.
