I wonder how much worst the accident would have been , if i had lost my mind and bought an alza instead of eb. .. and yet people keep on condemning protons. .

yup, he got saman + other troubles. but on our side, we received nothing. we can sue him in court, but what for? we'll end up paying more $$

ya, i was thinking about 'class' too.
but then, class = paying more for less, no class = paying less for more,

so my choice is obvious. in the end, its up to the individuals.

If one really have "class", he wont spend his time in front of the monitor.

Ada nampak Tan Sri or Datuk Sri masuk LYN or other forums? No.

I arrived at my destination already and took less 20 minutes than my previous ride

Fc drop from 11.6 l / 100km to 11 l / 100km...still high fc compare to my previous waja mitsu

Manage to test the auto cruise at lekas, cruising with another genetic silver cfe EB no. plate WWS at 140km/h...who's eb is this?
The auto cruise is aggressive tho, when climb hill the rpm straight shoot up...I wish it more to relax, no need to be that fast

at kuala pilah until muadzam shah a stream rsz cucuk from behind, let him go but he decide not to overtake...he shake hands with me at petronas after that

overtaking is so easy compare to my previous waja...from 50km/h I rev to 4000rpm and the meter climb so fast until reach 120km/h. More confident to overtake those overload lori balak. Engine sound is not pleasant after 3500rpm
Never try the L gear yet

Even though it is a 7 seater, 1 seat at the back need to fold down due to carry bags and stuffs.
The space so ngam ngam carry 6 of us

The DVD player working great, can detect 16gb pen drive...but I wish it could support to play mkv format. The free GPS battery life is not much, use it for 3hours and battery low...need to connect charger

At 150km/h I notice the side mirrors shaking a little bit...normal because of the design I think? its squar-ish. Still don't have chance to engage ABS to see if its working.

Overall I satisfy with what I pay for Love the space and comfort, power is a bonus

noted...i will add when come back from holiday next week...now on mobile mode...

last nite my journey from jb to tanah merah kelantan...Fc 8.2l/100km...max speed 150km/h normal 100 -120km/h...8hour driving. very comfort and steady...4 people with full luggage...full tank at jb...top up at kuantan rm52...now half tank - 3 bar with 300km to empty.

Exora CFE specifies oil 10W30. It says nothing about 0W30 or 5W30. Does anyone know the exact technical reason for 10W30? Does CFE uses flat tappet camshafts or rolling cams?

i thought u can also use 10-40 ?

Added mine.

Engine manufacturer don't simply recommend things. If it SPECIFICALLY says 10W30, it would mean that grade is best. Whereas for 10W40, you can also use but then it wouldn't be "best'.

For me, I just wanted to know the reason 'why'.

i agree, which is why i insist on 10-30 regardless of what the mechanic says.

is the car tinted when we receive it?

Yap. AFAIK, all 10W30 are Mineral Oil with most being API SL grade. Most Synthetic would be SM grade with lower ZDDP additives. I wondered whether that could be the reason. So until I know the reasons, I would also stick to Mineral 10W30 also, regardless of what SC said. For all I know, they couldn't be smarter than the engine manufacturer, could they?

i thought there are some 10-30 that are semi syn ?

ok. just come back from the Proton SC. well, this is my 2nd time service for my Exora Bold. and i had a very very bad experience with it.

I arrive SC at 11.15am. go to counter to enquiry. i told them i got bring my own engine oil. so the billing statement come out like this.

1 - X1R Engine Treatment - RM48.00
1 - X1R (P) Treatment - RM28.00
1 - Gasket Plug Oil Drain - RM3.32
1 - Oil Filter Campro Engine - RM12.22

i ask them do i really nd to buy engine treatment? they said every time service they will always suggest customer to buy. but i remember my 1st service dont hav pay for such thing. after comfirm, they ask me to be seat n wait. then i bring my son go watch astro then.

after long time waiting, my son's cartoon show already finish. i c the clock, its 12.00pm. i go check my car but still parking there, havent drive to the work bay yet. i go ask at counter how long i need to wait. then the servicer go ask mechanic. the mechanic quickly drive my car to service. (omg, isnt the mechanic jz reliaze my car have to service?)

another half an hour waiting. i go check my car. i saw them is pouring their engine oil. Its MACH 5 15W-40. i quickly tell them i got bring my own oil. they apologize to me, they said they didnt know, they jz work like normal. (omg again, they doing service without looking to the service order?? how terrible)

i continue ask them. normally, u guys should use semi oil, which is SYNTIUM 800 10W-40 for new car right? how come u use mineral oil for mine? they reply said, customer prefer this oil. (oh damn!) ok, since they already finish pour their oil. i think i will use it for another 3-4000km.

my car got a little problem, every time i hit a hole or drive at uneven road, they will always "eeegggrrrrrr" sound coming from back. i tell them to check my brake or abs. so they drive my car out. (i think they are going to hit the hole hardly this time, i suddenly feel regret to tell them the problem)

after 10 mins, they come back. they told me they got heard the sounds, it seems brake sound. so i ask them what to do? the machanic seems really donno wat to do. jz simply get the spanner, open my rear door. thighten some nut around there. then told me its done, jz go to pay at the counter. (WTF, dont u said its brake sound? what the hell u going to tighten the nut at back door??? wtfking sh*t)

after paid, leave there around 1pm. this 2nd service real sux. even the remind sticker they also forgot to give me.

actually the new car really need these staff? X1R Engine Treatment and X1R (P) Treatment (i assume P means petrol).
oh ya, they always jz add water to the coolant. when they will add the real coolant?

it doesn't specify must use SAE 10w30 oil. It specify minimum SAE 10w30 oil or engine oil with API rating of at least SL.

which sc is this ?
anyhow, this is why i go to authorized centre. at least, i know the mechanics would do a better job. As a customer, u could have start a shitstorm and ask them to drain their oil out and use the oil that you brought or prefered.
another thing, the authorized SC that i send my car too only uses syntium 800 10-30 for the cfe engine. how come the sc u went poured mach5 10-40 ?

hi guys

just a question. the car comes with tint already upon delivery? if yes, good enough?

tx

No such thing. No manufacturer will say that. They will say....at different ambient temperature, use different SAE etc

For premium and prime variant come with tint, 5 years warranty. Other variant I'm not sure.
The tint is very light, and not that good. I did 2nd layer at my EB

can you really do a tint over a tint? i thought must remove the ori tint first?
