My average FC is 11.6L/100km = 0.116L/km = RM0.23/km. Mix highway&kampung driving. Hard to keep my right foot alight

QUOTE(akchang @ May 27 2012, 11:53 PM) let repharse that, what i did was went for my 1st 1k service @ mutiara damansara proton (i believe this is the official service center). when the SA check my car with a some kind of check list form, they mark "semi-sync" for me. I asked the SA i want synthetic only. then the SA said your bold is design for this type of oil "semi-sync". tats puzzle me. i still press on for synthetic oil then only the SA mark it for synthetic. Now i did not know what/which vicoscity at that time cause the checklist shows - mineral / semi -sync / synthetic. If manual says xW30 and they used 15W50, you have every right to ask them to drain the 15w50 and replace with xW30 with no charge to you. I know I would.when i saw the bill wat was being charged, then only i saw it was a syntium 1000 (15w-50). then i asked them why do you not carry syntium 3000? that's where they can't answer me. so im stuck with the oil right now and thinkin going out to get a syntium 3000 and do it out side for the oil change.  |

Anyone can confirm? i guess so, that is why im sticking to 10-30 for now. i got an fb pm from proton i care saying that 10-30 and 10-40 can be used. but im sticking to 10-30 . but one thing lah. 10-30 , is sooo thin... so post service, im adding revooil to it ( can buy from eneos , 28 bucks . ) i told my mechanic,, that some other centre poured 15-50, and he was quite shocked. |

Since Proton seems to have a deal with Petronas, then it's probably the Mach-5 10W30. I simply see no point using more expensive Semi or Fully Synthetic. It is like fitting a gold plated toilet in a Kampung hut. |

( at least with the local car companies, i wont take my chances.... )Normally I bring my owned Mobil 5-40 for service. Even my 1993 wira still feel smooth. Engine tip top but all other part 'goyang' already (macam nak tercabut). but yes, you can bring your own oil if your not comfortable with service center oils , or you can request the service center to pour some other oil. i know the one i go too, they carry petronas,shell and castrol. . |

But I don't think it is necessary to use Synthetic (5-30, 5-40) in the beginning and then revert to Mineral (10-30) later. In the old days, they actually warn against doing that. Not sure of nowadays.Normally I bring my owned Mobil 5-40 for service. Even my 1993 wira still feel smooth. Engine tip top but all other part 'goyang' already (macam nak tercabut). |

QUOTE(ir5 @ May 29 2012, 03:43 PM) Guys, You heard wrong. As far as engine power is concerned, the CPS is the lousy car your friend talked about. The CFE is a totally different kettle of fish and I think you should go test drive yourself. It's actually very nice to drive.Sorry a bit out of topic, but i've heard someone from outside saying that Exora Bold CFE:- underpower - body besar...kalau naik genting nak tergelonsor ke belakang. enjin kete 'manja'..takleh berendam dlm air even slight flash flood - terus jem (mati enjin) sparepart susah dpt any comments guys? coz i'm considering seriously to take exora bold cfe for my 2nd car... |
