Unfortunately, there's no official fix for this yet. But ckk125 seems to have fix the problem by changing the rubber or something a while back.

This is what ckk125 did. He just put a cloth there! (btw, ckk125, if you don't wish this to be shown, just tell me and i will remove it).



I haven't try it myself. I barely goes above 60km/h in city. Must go another outstation trip to test the car...

You can try....maybe DIY urself first? Or go to some outside workshop and ask them to help to take out the rubber.

Last time i asked them to check, they say kennot coz can't drive more than 100km/h at Mutiara SC...which is true also...maybe you need to go to COE...how else can drive over 140km/h??? At least got highway there...do they have a testing track in COE??? I wonder..

Which part of the rubber trim? Outside? But my Savvy rubber trim inside, around the windows area...all got turn whitish color like glue washed off or something.......

Hey, u still haven't sell ur Savvy yet??

I dun hate reading manuals....i just don't read them!!! Maybe got childhood phobia from 200 pages manual for stupid flight simulation game with crappy graphics which just shows you a sky(light blue), a sea (dark blue) and a line in the middle and ask you to imagine ur flying a plane...LOL.

I yam not car professionals.....i read IT manuals though...LOL.

Your piece of yellow cloth is still there? It looks like 6 inches long or so.

You mean you just chuck it inside the hole?? LOL.

So you just go there and tell got nyek-nyek sound and ask to change the bushings?

Huh, how did it get to the radiator?? Get in from the front grill and hit radiator???

This is for the suspension nyek-nyek sound?? So fast? I thought you were just look-look this morning!!

Should be ok gua...but what is your Wira using all the while? I heard old cars not suppose to change the oil type from full-synth->semi synth etc or maybe vice-versa?? Anyone has any thoughts on this?

This one?

http://forum.protoninspiraclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1641

Today i heard loud nyek nyek when going fast over bump. Called for appointment this Friday.

s800-semi synthethic 10w40
s1000-??
s3000-full syhthetic 10w40?

Check Petronas website lar.

Anyway, i think xW40 should be ok...anything more than 40 is a bit too thick and sucks even more fuel. Unless you rev kaw-kaw everyday and redline, i don't think you'll need xw/50.

Say, is it ok if we use xw30 for our engines? Would it be too thin for 2.0cc engine? (But maybe saves more fuel?).

You can ask for the free gifts from ur Proton SC when you buy the oil. If they don't give, threaten to call police....haha.

Proton official oil change interval is like 10,000km. But SC will brainwash you to come back at 5000km (make money mah). Basically, IMO, both semi-synth and full synth also can last for 10k, (just that you remember to change your oil filter at 5k). Some people says cannot, but to each his own. If you're scared, then just do it at 5000km and 7000km for semi synth.

Also depends on your mileage...for me it's 6 months or 10,000km....since i probably only reached 7000km by 6 months, i'll just stick with semi-synth.....but next round i wanna try out full synth just for the heck of it....see got improve FC or not...haha.

btw, Proton SC will try to sucker you to buy what OIL TREATMENT...PLS DON'T BUY!! Not only it waste money, it is not recommended to put in these addictives into your engine coz your engine oil already got addictive....you won't know what's the result mixing the two together....it could be worst and cause unwanted effect like carbon depositing...nobody knows for sure....just don't buy it!!!

It depends. If your engine ok, and no makan minyak, you still can use back the same oil. btw, no difference between 0/40 to 10/40....only applies to cold start different....viscocity level is still the same....you should go from xW/40 -> xW/50 if makan minyak.

Right now, Proton gives 10w40 for the Synthium 800 for Inspira. But there is a 15w/50 Synthium 800 also. Previously, they were using this i think. but x/50 is too thick for a brand new car.

already on 50, use back 50 lor. About the thickest oil for normal car...unless you use those racing/high performance car oil xw/60....but better not lar....
0w/10w/20w is a rating to indicate that the oil performs the same level of oil thickness during cold or hot. 0w is for the coldest, 10w less cold, 20w lagi less cold...somthing like that....for example 10W/40 will means the oil performs with a level of viscocity based on SAE40 ratings whether in hot or cold(10W).....W means winter, you can google for more info.

Basically, it's all in the -ve Celcius range. Malaysia don't have winter, so it don't matter to us. Our coldest probably in Genting...what...17C ?? Doesn't matter....won't reach negative anyway...unless 2012 coming, which you won't be worry about your car...

Added on August 10, 2011, 2:02 pmPlease don't buy oil at outside workshop....there has been many cases of fake oil going on. Only buy from Petrol Stations or official SC. You don't want to kill your car by being cheapskate.

As for Tesco oil, i believe somebody discuss before, the ratings might be a bit different than similar local brands.
