Mobil has quite good review for continental cars.. But not sure if its good for our car..
Eneos quite ok lah.. No bad review.. All good ones so far.. Honda is using Eneos as its approved engine oil..
Sumo also not sure.. The brand is too fresh..

The prob is RM50 also i dont have..

Ok talking bout the discovery i made somewhere around last week...

As we all know that Caltex is very good for high speed driving (above 3.2k RPM) and also gives a very smooth and quiet engine.. smile.gif

Esso gives the best overall balance of power and economy.. The low end torque (below 2.5k RPM) is slightly better than Caltex, giving faster acceleration in traffic jams and slow moving traffic, and better FC than Caltex.. biggrin.gif

Petronas is very good for driving below 2.8k RPM.. With the best FC among all petrol brands, but its low end torque and high end power is lacking compared to the above 2..  hmm.gif

So what I did the other day was I went and mixed 55% Petronas with 45% Caltex.. Voila, I have never got a better town driving FC that that!! My FC was consistently below 8L/100km... Rarely above it.. and on highway cruising at around 120kmh it was only 7.6L/100km.. But the best thing about it is the engine is very very smooth, and the acceleration was the smoothest and the best i ever experienced..  icon_idea.gif

After that i did the same mixture for Esso and Petronas.. Engine was rather smooth but not as smooth as Caltex + petronas, but low end torque was lacking, I had to shift down whenever i wanted to accelerate a bit faster or go up a small hill.. But the FC was even better! I was averaging around 6.4L/100km when travelling a 80kmh.. and in my normal daily routine of going around town and old klang road i got an FC of 7.5L/100km..  shocking.gif

As u all know the best FC i had doh.gif  so far is with Esso and with the same routine im only able to achieve around 8.2-.8.5L/100km at best..

So u all go try it and give some feedback.. See if it suits all car..

Btw the Castrol Edge Sport 0W-40 engine oil is really good.. Even better than Magnatec.. My engine is very quiet and smooth.. The IAFM like issue was gone, so that means its the tappet noise that was actually creating all the havoc under the bonnet. Cold engine start didnt have any problems at all too.. All those standard dashboard rattling is gone and the car now
feels very noisy due to wind and tire noise instead of the engine and rattling.. thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  rclxm9.gif

Really? I shall try with my next fuel up..

So it's the original brake pad problem?

But when I ask the service center guy, he said it's normal. But I think it's not normal cos the braking like no effective, very dangerous actually.

Anyone here have this problem with the braking efficiency?

Yup. Get RapidStop.. It will solve the problem.. smile.gif
Most people with B-line and M-line persona will have braking efficiency problem

QUOTE(ZenGTMM @ Aug 15 2011, 02:15 AM)
That means the front min is 70% VLT and side and back 50% VLT..
I bought RM145 only.. hehe..
Yeah.. The front can put around 65% darkness also still ok..
Wow the specs are very low for the IHR.. Y never get something higher a bit.
I think its Mobil instead of Mobile.. XD
No lah.. Judges are like that.. It has been since the English court system, where the judges are regarded as supreme being.. Its tradition lah.. Very lengthy to discuss in here.. But if u know the way how they were brought up then u will understand.

Dude.. Make sure after 5k you change the engine oil..
The engine oil inside the engine will reduce during first 5k mileage..
Make you keep checking the engine oil level..
Btw, I got good news! New persona will come with 1.6L CPS with turbo smile.gif

PE headlight way too low. was heading back hometown on friday night.

2 lanes highway, the right lanes was closed down to 1 lane only by using cones, more than 1KM distance. It was so dark and i only able to see max 4 cones downwards at the front. While opposite has car coming, I can't use high beam.

Just adjust the height and dont adjust the left or right
If not, you will regret smile.gif

btw, this is the photo of engine condition on PE 1year old..

Its a 40 weighted oil...just ngam for our campro. Don't read the 0W its Winter viscosity and since we don't have sub-zero temperature here, the cold viscosity will remain same with 5W, 10W....at 20+C cold temperature, it will remain same viscosity for all these lube.
