Dyno lor.. Got HP no torque maa... Forever say no money la u.. I see. But Shell Helix HX7 and Gear Oil?? U really dont need gear oil on ur 1st 1k KM service. And HX7 is about the worst engine oil we can use on our PEs.
Not sure but the sc ask me to change gear oil as well. How come helix hx7 not recomended? Do this mean better go for petronas?
Must give me more location detail pls. Poisoned and need to find a decent detailing shop Believe in your persona... Otherwise just bring to dyno for exact whp gained.
Shoplot next to South City Plaza, look for the rm2.50 vegetarian restaurant. And you will see the shop next to it. With Meguier's logo
Now, some of you might have experienced some 'tak tak' sound coming from the rear right passenger door whenever the car goes over road bumps, corners, or when the road is uneven. This may be caused by the rubber sealing on the car that turns dry after the car was parked under the sun or exposed to heat for too long. This method of identifying the source of the noise has been proven multiple times on a few members' car: Zapdos9, lhongwuh, and even my own car, and it's proven to work. However, this is not a permanent solution. The spray serves as a softener and conditioner for the rubber so that when it's rubbing against the door, the smooth surface of the rubber will reduce the friction with the door, therefore eliminating the noise altogether. It had to be applied regularly as the rubber tend to dry up pretty quickly. This is the only alternative solution to the mentioned problem, apart from having the whole rubber strip replaced. Please watch video 1 on how to identify the noise mentioned. Pay close attention to 0:12 and 0:27 to get a clear idea of what the noise sounds like.
Video 2 below on how to double confirm that the noise is indeed caused by the rubber, and the troubleshooting involved as well as proof that the noise is eliminated.
Wondering...anybody experience after installing air filter, whenever i on the air con, i hear louder than usual humming coming from the front..any idea? the noise is more obvious when the car is idling
So seems tat shell hx7 degrade very fast huh? Nvminf, after reach 5k service will changento caltex manetec. Exactly what model is caltex magnetec that you guys recommended? Can get it at tesco etc?
Not sure but the sc ask me to change gear oil as well. How come helix hx7 not recomended? Do this mean better go for petronas?
Nope. Recommended engine oil for PE are Caltex Havoline Semi/Fully, Castrol Magnatec and Castrol Edge. These 3 provides the best performance, best FC and best idling as well as the least engine oil wear after 5k KMs.

CASTROL Magnatec? There's only 10W-40 and 10W-30 in the market now. 10W-40 semi synthetic comes in 4L packagings, 10W-30 comes in 3L packagings. Go for Castrol Edge 5W-30 if u can afford it. Better. And be sure not to mix up Castrol Edge and Castrol Edge Sports, as the latter is too thin for our engines.

Yup. U'll get the sound more noticeably when u press the small triangular window. Probably because when u press on it the force is distributed throughout a smaller area.
