BTW bro, where is your shop? I need to do some troubleshooting for the weird sounds from the rear end of my satria, and to rotate the tyres as well. PM me the address and number, will call you when I am coming, prolly next week.

Mine I use mineral first as well after engine rebuild, after 1000km, I use semi synthethic

this my personal opinion...

the older the car is better to use mineral or much higher viscosity because the higher the viscosity the much 'thicker' thus it protects more ur engine part. but the higher viscosity, higher FC due to its thickness. if u take car like, i using cycle method which is mineral -> semi -> full syn den cycle again thus i feel d difference everything i change. OR if u really love ur car, use semi n fully but change it every 5k. dont wait till 8k or 10k. like my fren using 5w30 for his nissan sentra, he change everytime 5k or less den tht aft he check the dip stick. so my conclusion fully is much less FC comparing semi den semi less FC comparing mineral. also careful of imitation, maybe u buy a imitation den u get poor result comparing ppl who using same as u. my choice of brand elf, brahdal, motul, Q8, castrol, addinol and royal purple

brand also got effect with same viscosity, eg i cannot use castrol full syn 0w30 but i can use brahdal 5w30, same viscosity 30 but why cant use, no idea maybe bcoz different company different additive..

for spark plug also got effect but i think is bcoz is spark power, to burn the petrol. for me it got effect bcoz on both power and less FC. i think bcoz the fuel burn properlly kua.

petrol, different company different additive so which is much more FC is also effect the age of the car n how u take care car eg wut engine oil u using, wut spark plug, spark plug cable, ATF, air filter, oil filter and etc... i still like esso ron95 comparing other company bcoz it really save FC. my full tank rm 70 can go up to max 480...

in the end, u decide wut is best for ur car.

tis 1  i totally agreed ~

rather than many ppl din't realise tat but put lower viscosity  in old 4G9series will actually kill d engine slowly~
cuz i've paid a very good lesson from it but i remembered sum1 used to said work for/in proton claim tat more than 10yrs can use fully like 5w40/3w30 or 10w30 wit no prob at all

yes,i'm waiting for it to run i at 1.5k km 1st b4 putting it good engine to it~   
time for smoother rev n safe sum fc ~

Since it is a Protong Wira, my offer will be rm9500......

upload your protong picture lei..

Well, I stick to ELF or BHP just because I know the distributor and I got a very good price for this fully-syn.....
The visco ratings most of the time are not that accurate, they shall publish the visco after the engine were heated up, say 90°C. At ambient temperature, every oil can get 30 does not means that at 90°C all still the same.
I choose Bosch Super4 all the time not just because it can last longer of 50-60kkm(filled with carbon and still perform like a new plug), cost me rm56. If were to use those original plugs, rm2+ if not mistaken, it can only last 10-15kkm. Compare the same mileage of 60kkm, I saved rm4+ on Super4.....
Well, at least pour 1 time just to test power... And Mobil1 fully-syn even mad, said can last you for 25kkm before change....
1500km only change? I change at 1000km the oil are like it is been used for 5000km....

rm16k sipeh exp... 2nd hand car shop also wont makan so high la...

hi all

i wanna sell my protong wira 1.5manual, year 2002, full bodykit.
interested pls let me know

thanks XD

   

Well at least I learn something new. But we are in a wira thread. And mostly IMHO, semi synth is good enough already. Unless you are running Mivec/GSR/Evo.

Eh, that barking dog dissapear already?

P/S: I doubt Motul mineral is the same as Shell Helix mineral right?

wow ur price very "HIGH" i sell to 2nd hand car dealer , get more then wat u saying, pls dont joke here , y not u sell me ur wira at Rm1??

I repeat for the second time, it is an imitation Proton, rm8500 already too much as to respect the plastics put in... Else I will only pay rm5000.....

What you witness was tyre lock, it is normal
You have to pump the brakes to avoid the tyres from locking, however if it is too late (the situation doesn't favor you), even a car with ABS won't be able to stop in time

Of course, you keep on holding on the brakes, your tyres will lock and you can't control the car, it will still go forward due to the momentum

If you let go and repump your brakes, your tyres won't be locked anymore and you can get your control back. For ABS cars, they prevent you from locking the tyres so that you have enough time to swerve the car to avoid an accident. What if you have no choice but to remain in that lane with no where to swerve? A car with ABS won't be able to stop you from hitting the car in front too if it is too late
