if u open the cover for petrol...ok open the aircond full

try feel at near the inside join at the petrol cap....you can feel some breeze of aircond...there are some leak or gap that why petrol can be smell inside. if you try to fill petrol...try prevent spill or over flow near the area...

i am ok if they delay my car (or chassis). problem is the SA said chassis reserved, went to pay the d/p. few days later said proton screw up and make mistake in the chassis allocation  vmad.gif

now the money already transferred to them (~ rm 20k) which could have been used to save my housing loan interest rate (mine is flexi loan)  cry.gif
*
i think you SA screw you to pay the down payment...should you get the chasis no and confirm with i care 1st then pay them. the SA blame proton...haha that the tactic

now you can only wait your car...now everyday you call SA ask the car...until u get the car...if not it will be more delay

Your understanding of oil viscosity is also my understanding and I am as confused as you are. Have a look at Page 127 whereby it says you can't use 0W or 5W.
*
What I understood in the manual...minimum API SL service...10 to 30w...actually you can use any oil rate but must at least API SL rate or above...about the low rating is not effect as it rate for lowest ambient temperature...in europe the oil need stay liquip they got 4 season in winter the temp will drop to below 0 degree. About fuel consumption off course using fully syn. Oil fuel consumption will low as the friction become lower due to oil charcteristic low viscocity but no oil break...nowdays at europe or US the service mileage also higher as modern engine and oil lubriction can stand more mileage...that why now they got 10000km period service...but if u use the right oil grade..do not worry bro.

All of you are talking about the obvious but none is answering the question I posted. In short, like me, you people also don't know the answer either.

The question is "Why did Proton said you must stick to 10W* and must not use 5W* in Malaysia climate".
At first I thought it was a misprint so I dig out all the car manual I can lay my hands on and sure enough, I find another different manufacturer saying the same thing. There must be some other thing that I just don't understand and neither do any of you.
*
Cool down bro...I see in the manual proton do not say cannot use 5w* oil. There are quotes in to use 10-30w SL or higher API standard...so choose oil with high API standard...SL,SM or else. On grade for malaysia weather better stick to XX30W use fully syn. Then can service after 10000km mileage. If semi service after 5000km. Up to you bro...

It has come to our general consensus that the engineers at Proton has recommended engine oil of at least SAE 10w30 and above. But, what does those numbers really means? It means that the oil has conformed to SAE10W specifications in winter testing (-17 degrees celcius) and conformed to SAE30 ratings during operating temperature (100 degrees Celsius). The 10w reflects the fluidity of the engine oil during winter temperature which determines the ability to crank the engine and keep it properly lubricated at the first crank of the engine. However, due to our ambient temperature which is constantly around 22~35 degrees Celsius there are no issues of engine oil getting crystallized. Therefore, the SAE10w part can be ignored for most of the users in our market.   

In conclusion, it is safe to say that the chart serves only as a reference for users which experience cold weather (4 seasons) or countries which has all long cold weather. Users who experience all round summer like us can use whatever engine oil in the market, as long as it is a minimum of SAE30, regardless of 0w, 5w, 10w, 15w or 20w.

I agree...but remember API SL above... SM or latest SN

We are discussing about the viscosity, not the API.

I know but the manual just say API SL above...so for sharing more grade suitable...i use 10w40 syntium 800 API SM can service after 10000km i think laaa...as my kelisa also 10000km service API SM haha....more save money

Regarding API ratings, it is only a general rule to govern the type of engine oil can be used for the consumer market. Normal consumer who isn't very knowledgeable about engine oil can always refer to API ratings when deciding which to choose for their car. The latest one is API SN, which was introduced not long ago. For engine oil with API SM onwards, there are slight revision, in which engine oil producer requires to add certain additives to protect the vehicle's catalytic converter (protects the environment at the same time).

All API rating engine oils are backward compatible, meaning SN can be used on a car requires API SJ or even SC, SD but not the opposite. A car which requires API SL onwards, means it can only take engine oil with rating of API SL, SM and SN.

syntium 800 is a semi synthetic oil and therefore not very recommended to stretch it till 10,000km. Chances are, the oil is already a 10w20 when it hits 7,000km. For the rest of 3,000km, the engine is actually receiving half the amount of protection and lubrication it needed.

I think the ones that break warranty is the permanent ones. they tap to the wiring to signal the alarm.

the removable ones should be OK.
http://www.megacell.com.my/products/1440.asp

On EB do we need to press the brake before we can put the car to D? I think this is true on Preve.
*
Yes on EB also need to press brake before can move from P to D...I think to use stering lock only...what can do... There are many way they can steel the car...my fren golf gti...towing by other car... No need to start enjin...haha very clever

This is the basic costing for servicing EB CFE at PE SC.
http://www.proton-edar.com.my/pdf/procareP...xora%20Bold.pdf

Summary:
Summary removed. Many wrong assumptions tongue.gif better check with you SC.

But the high cost should come at 60k and 120k.

What spark plug does Proton use? Rm100 for 1 spark plug?
*
Good now got additional 2 years...EWP also ok...hehe 3+2 =5 ....

exora use iridium spark plug. that why costly...

You sure? I asked and was told only 3 yrs and no EWP. So when does 5 yrs start?

I think it is better to change CVT fluid at 30K instead of 60K. That is based on friend who had CVT car who suggested half the interval.
*
this is new...before this only 3 years...after that it will submit your servis record before get EWP...i experience it with perodua...usually the addtional warranty cover by insurance company...so ok laaa....proton got this program.

rm100 perpiece spark plugs? holycow! better use the silver spark plug at that price range. better then iridium.

yeah very expensive...you can try other spark plug...but usually can not, if can tell me lah.... biggrin.gif
what i know that, this spark plug can last longer...my fren use until 100000km but still not problem
60000km i will not changes. first will open see the condition...haha...

Are there any additional benefits of the iridium? I mean I rather change normal spark plugs every 20k at RM50 (total Rm150 at 60km) than spending RM400 at once at 60k. Beside, if we have example dead piston rings at 30k, and we are forced to change spark plugs as well. The initial investment now gone.
check with Service Center for the EWP and how to qualify. I was told need to be endorsed by bank before we could do EWP
if you work at service center and heard this complaint please share. no cars are perfect. we just need to live with what we have and learn how to overcome. last time people are saying waja got many problems. yet mine served me 10 good years, only 1 time breakdown due to fuel filter after 250km on odo.
no, cost for part is 400, means around 100 each plug. check the pdf.
I think just follow the service booklet if want to be in warranty. really how do we determine 'severe'. If we occasionally use the car for long distance but maintain good speed 120-130kmph I don't think it's severe enough.
I think only applicable for early batches. read from kristof at AW, newer batches got upgraded already.

The spark plugs actually for high combustion engine...my uncle once try normal spark plug for his 1.8 gsr turbo....cannot...the engine become weird batuk2....haha...use until the spark plug kong aaa...very costly

It depend on the volume .... if no cars than no need appointment. But if you stay in crowded area I believe you definitely need to make an appointment first.

When I wanted to do the service in PG I need to make reservation more than a week, but when I went to KB, Kelantan the other day I just walk in to the service center early in the morning and within 5 minutes my car dock into their service bay already.
*
Yes some place need to book...but for me i just call my SA and he will arrange it for me...no need to wait so long...last service just took 1 1/2 hour only...
