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 know. But what puzzles me is, Proton could have written it as 0W30, 5W30 and 10W30. But they did not, instead, they only wrote 10w30 (which is more likely to be Mineral rather than Semi or Synthetic). Furthermore, in the Lotus document, it was stated as "lower viscosity Mineral Oil" with no mention of Synthetic.

So my question is, why keep emphasizing or implying to use Mineral oil? This the part I am trying to work out.

ya, i did some research long time ago, and came out to the conclusion that most additives are either useless or dangerous. just use good (& ori) oil + change oil on time. thats all.

except maybe for - lubegard

i bought mine at Eon. n i bring my car to eon sc too. coz proton edar sc wont allow to bring own oil.
feeling very sad now, paying extra money for unnecessary item and maybe will harmful to my engine....

whats ur car color?

While the list of booked EB so far:
1. brotan | silver | Exora Bold CFE
2. Trong-FC | Elegance Brown | Exora Bold CFE
3. sendoh_7 | silver | Exora Bold Premium

CFE/CVT combination too noisy for town driving. Much worst than normal AT. Only shine on highway high speed driving.

Like that one, huh? My 2006 Avanza has this alignment problem since day 1. SC said cannot fix, it is like that. I thought is was BS.

booked my EB Elegance Brown 2 months ago and still waiting... got WWW76XX at rm210 last friday...lalala

Added on June 12, 2012, 12:00 pmI would recommend maybank... mine got 2.8% for 9 years.. some more got full loan plus rm500 discount from SA, free gift etc... last month my SA offer just arrived cocoa grey but I still insist my elegance brown although much longer queue.. hehe

tx for the info

wth, the chassis that i got was wrongly booked. it is already booked by other showroom for other customer   

first it was elegant brown, now people are crazy about white 

White difficult to maintain. With brown, less easy to see the dirt. So brown best for lazy people.

2nd tires is one thing i will NEVER do, unless you know it's history.

1. Tires are rubber and rubber cracks with age. Tire have a shelf life and anything more than 4 or 5 yrs is pass it's shelf life. Once pass and driving at high speed, you better go write your wills first.

2. Some tires shop will use sharp knife to cut the rubber groves to make it looks 'new'. That means thinner tires so again, go write your wills first.

I just tembak them and said, "is this the first time you guys deal with proton? don't tell me you don't know there is this possibility and make sure you check on your side to double confirm first?"

I have a gut feeling they have cash flow problem and want to use my d/p somehow

Actually I did call the bank if i can hold (not cancel) the cheque but can't. only way is to cancel which will cause me RM 20 to cancel + I need to go to the showroom to sign some stupid papers. Don't want to waste my time on this kind of things, so I treat it as a lesson learned for me

Moving from standstill. There is a time lag of about 1 second after pressing accelerator before power comes in. You people have same issue?

Proton called me and he told me chassis allocated 

Guess going to Proton directly and complain really works. hehe

tx. you didn't trade in?

btw, what car you are selling?

read that page and i believe the cheapest petronas syntium 1000 (15w50) is enough for the car.... according to the charts lah
