The oil black is normal...doesn't mean it is very dirty. Read that somewhere before.

Here's a good source regarding engine oil.

most mechs will say that semi is good up to 10k and fully up to 20k..my good ol waja, used fully syn and changed oil every 20k, now still no problem..

My savvy do 10K also...one Proton SC ask me to do every 5K with all sort of excuse. I never go back there. BS. Proton has clearly stated service interval at every 10k....these half baked mechanic has authorization to override the official recommendation?? shakehead.gif

WTF 4-5k???? Arghhhhhhhhhhh~~~

if you do go for exora, make sure you inspect their interior properly, my company has 2units, and some of the plastic parts fitting is very bad (human error, not by design).. maybe it's the lower spec so they cincai assemble.. get the premium version should be ok.. but really sad to see this kind of workmanship in this day and age..

between alza n exora.. alza looks nicer IMHO because of it being smaller and sportier looking.. but seeing the type of accidents alzas have been in (got one the alza length was reduced to a kancil! like the cabin also become the crumple zone..) i wouldn't consider it anymore IF i was looking into mpv (its too small anyway).. the exora, with the right makeup looks very cool & fierce due to its size.. if no make up... meh.
*
You book yours oready ar??? tongue.gif How much booking paid liao? Maybe you gasak your SA for discount...

Thanks for the tip...the only problem with Exora now is the underpowered engine....once they fix the power problem, this will be a perfect MPV at unbeatable price...spacious, great handling for an MPV, sturdy (definitely >> Alza) and a decent engine. For some strange reason (lucky for me), my wife don't like Alza's look...(but she likes Myvi!!! doh.gif)...haha...i don't like anything Perodua. Hopefully, the new Exora has at least 5 speed auto-tranny + the Campro CPS/CPE. I heard it'll be CVT...dunno true or not though....

I think goldfries type terbalik liao. It(Forte/Inspira) should be C-segment with B-segment price.

Persona is almost C segment car(maybe B-?? lol). Dump in a 1.6 Campro Turbo , redesign it (the Tuah design) and you have very serious contendor to C-segment also.

somehow i dont think it will be a 1.6 campro turbo..the FC will be too much for a B segment car..more like they'll use the 1.6CPS engine
*
I've done some research...it seems that Turbo engine actually SAVES fuel rather than drinks more fuel. And there seems to be a trend to turbocharged smaller engines to get higher output. How pratical is the result i dunno lar.

Here's a good read:

how to calculate just the loan interest? for 70k loan 7 years for example?
offer starting tomorrow till sunday, the way he said it sounds like having some event for the promo at the proton edars also..
*
Say if interest is 2.66%
70k x 2.66%=rm1,862

7 years= 1,862 x 7 = RM 13,034

Total Loan + Interest=70,000 + 13,034= RM 83,034

Monthly installment= RM 988.50

Hi guys,
Need your help on this,

my main complaint....Water ingress in the cabin...

Sent my car on last monday for them to rectify the problem, proton said, my car is the luckiest to have this problem...
today the service advisor called me to update on the progress, he said my car need to send back to factory to repair it....WTH...if this is factory defect. just replace the neww unit la...
So tomorrow i will visit my car and to bang the boss.....
Please advise me the bullet to shoot at PROTON.

Very2 dissapointed.

my car age: 1 month plus...
*
Hmm...there was another guy complaining about water ingress...was it you or another person? Shooting low-level grunts is useless. I suggest you demand a replacement and e-mail officially to DSZ (but do it in a polite but firm manner lar...don't be rude in e-mail to DSZ!).

BTW, where's the water comes from? bottom or top??

I saw it somewhere before, but forgot oready. I think someone mentioned his e-mail can be found at Proton SC. Maybe you can just call Proton iCare and ask.

Updated:
I found this:

DATO' SYED ZAINAL ABIDIN SYED MOHAMED TAHIR, PROTON'S MD
email add: syedzainalabidin@proton.com

True or not i dunno, better check with i-Care.

most can only speculate that the ones proton use for dyno were using ron95, vs the numbers gained from japan which might use higher octane number.

Proton cant change the drivetrain and ECU. it is directly from the lancer


Added on April 22, 2011, 2:32 pm

3 years mantenance?! sure?or is it 2?


Added on April 22, 2011, 2:34 pm

the 2.0 resembles the EX more than the GT to be honest, but the drivetrain is the same. the numbers mean nothing. join us at www.protoninspiraclub.com  smile.gif

3 years bro!!!!! I asked the guy specifically! 70,000km or 3 years which ever come first. That means if 2 years you jalan 70km, then too bad lar, then rest u have to pay.

I dumped EXORA idea liao...think think think....this Campro Turbo engine...reliable or not dunno, sucks fuel or not dunno....then have to wait another 2 years to see the Campro Turbo cars feedback!!! Better stay with tested and proven MIVEC engine!!!! thumbup.gif

Called my SA....gonna go and book tomorrow!!!!! WAKAKAKAKA! (unless my almighty missus come and splash me with cold water again....). Anyway, my mileage very low...4 years Myvi < 60km....Savvy < 40km....3 years no need to pay maintenance...woo hooo!

But they only give semi oil...u guys use full synth or semi synth???
