I have heard people having problems where they would hear tappet noises when they use fully synthetic engine oil but there's no evidence that fully synthetic oils damages the engine. Synthetic oils are designed by engineers to enhance/improve the properties of the base oil.

yup if it tree or lamp post the impact more severe,today when to my sc saw a saga passenger side crash quite deep and front part reach engine.the body also bent already.
tak tak tak sound dunno tapet sound or the iafm problem,if appeared after using the shell oil than should be tapet if not iafm
as far as i know.next service may be u can give eneos a try.

may I know which SC u go which allow us to bring our own oil ? I m thinking to change eneos oil too but my sc dont allow.

so far i went to Yes Car care at puchong but they dont allow..i will try SC that "Pravred" mentioned, anyway what is the diff with 10w40 and 10w30 oil from eneos ya?

hmmm...my FL is around 3 months plus only, went for 1k and 5k service with SC's petronas syntium 800...so is it consider as long ah? can change to lighter oil since u mentioned it will provide better fc and acceleration ?

Eneos 10w30 is mineral bases and 3 liters ??  I went to a authorized Eneos center at Dengkil (behind KFC) and that guy show me a bottle of semi-syn 10w30 Gold colour bottle and said " now eneos come out with 10w30 d, no more 10w40 " which i find out is true bcz I cant find any bottle label 10w40 in his shop.

So if u mentioned 10w30 is mineral then my old iswara is using mineral instead of semi-syn right now!!and he charge me with the price of semi-syn    I am going back to that shop to clarify liao then....feel like kena cheated wey

Changed filter can solve "smelly" air when we turn off the aircond? Anyone know how to fix this?

It's a Mitsu gearbox.

i think it's becuz mitsu GB is more reliable

source man, source

a) Apparently the 80K package involves timing belt change and some other stuff. Not sure if it's worth it or not, though.

b) I think you need around 5 bottles. That's why they 5 x RM30 = +-RM150. That's what I can see on my pdf file lar.

why would castrol cause serious injury..lol
i would say any oil would be ok for the car except for fake oil/ used oil

Nope. Nvr. Cos such brand not easily available arnd here...
Buying via Online not gud idea cos heavy item, etc.

I've oledi got 2x4L Castrol Magnatec & 1x4L Mobil 1 for future use! In the meantime, services @Proton CS use their Petronas Syn 800 semi while under warranty.

u go down and smell
u will found some bau hangus 
i changed rear dump already

it is hard to break but drum brake itself have many issue
it has too many component inside...and hard to fix
disc brake is easier to fix and identify
