i live in shah alam, and i went to the one in pj. at least, they were aware of the correct oil type to use. even aware that many parts of the exora bold is different compared to the previous model.

Severe usage: City driving. Frequent stop & go. Frequent short distance traveling.

Non severe: Long distance highway at 90kph

that is severe ? if the engine is perpetually at low revs, then how ? the high revs are not sustained ma

Water is produced during the combustion of Hydrocarbon (fuel) and air (oxygen).

Short distance does not allow the engine to be hot enough or hot long enough to remove all the water vapor produced. Water will contaminate the engine oil. Water is one reason why some people find engine oil level seldom goes down over time aka, not a good thing.

On the other hand. Long distance driving allows all the water in engine oil to be burned off and one reason why some people reported a drop in engine oil level after a long run aka, a good thing.

as long as the engine has reached it optimal operating temp, this shouldnt be a problem right ?

it should also have stayed at that optimal operating temperature long enough to do the job.

not trying to argue or anything, but how long should it be to stay at the optimal operating temperature for all the water to vaporize properly ? tis is more for self knowledge .

thanks. i also read online. water in the engine oil would make the color of the oil look murky, like coffee. so that is something to look out for.

which means 2k RPM isn't always equal to 90kmh, ain't it?

actually,based on my observation, the cvt gearbox adjusts its ratio based on the engine speed. so by the time ur car hit 90~ 100 km/h , ur engine speed will be in circa of 2k. Only if u switch on SAT would the box simulate the more normal behaviour of a fixed ratio gearbox.

get it ?

max torque is between 2k to 4k . thats why mat has been preaching about keeping your engine rev below 2k if possible.

max hp: that really important ? its an mpv, as long as i am able to cruise around 130~140, im a happy camper.

oic, if mix then its ok, but still think its good. For fully town, really hard to achieve that. Mine a bit less aero as gen2, waja campro,fully town just around 300km+-. But mix,just around yours, but driving sedately, avoiding the death valley. If vroom, u knowla, fuel also from, he..he..

By the way, what is the rpm@speed 140-150kmh? I believe just around 3k++ rpm.

rpm speed for which car ? the exora or gen2 ?
gen2 , about 4k rpm .
exora , about 3k .. i remember thinking i had another k before i lose the torque... was wondering how fast the car can really go , if i floored the pedal.

mmg lah, just because its a proton, u expected it to be cheaper ke ? the gearbox is from punch powertrain . and no; punch is not anak syarikat proton ye.

the turbo also is not manufactured by proton, its actually by borgwarner.
the abs/ebd is by bosch. both these guys also not anak syarikat proton

so why on earth would u think the gb is a lot cheaper than hondas?
