Yupp..10k km service interval. I purposely asked the service personnel & she refers to what i believe is a Preve maintenance schedule and said "Preve service interval is every 10k km" no matter whether we use semi syn or fully syn oil...

I'm not an oil man also. But the basic that i've learnt is, thicker oil will make your car feels heavier. Thinner oil will give better engine response & pick up

Go to SC & please see the service items in details. When i went for 1st service last time, that's the price the SC gave me (RM18x if i'm not mistaken). If my memory still serves me well, that price is including the labour charge . So by deducting the labour charge & screen washer liquid, the total service price is about RM133.xx. Kindly check the service details (in the service sheet) first bro...

Did i said that? I used 10W-30 engine oil (Syntium 800) which is thinner than the 15W-50 engine oil (Syntium 1000). On the other way round, 15W-50 engine oil is thicker than the 10W-30 engine oil

Bro Dhuang,

Since that u already got 'good relationship' with the CAT team..i wanna ask u a favour..hehe. Could u ask them whether the side mirrors can be reprogram to unfold when we unlock the door or when we start the car or when engaging the gear knob to R or D position?

My wife getting annoyed from day to day due to this 'canggih' feature of the Preve's side mirrors (did not unfold when we reverse the car or when we move forward at a very low speed which is useful when we accessing the road from the roadside). Need to press the unfold button on each occasion..haihh

My advice is, call them using different phone number & pretend not to be u..lol

TQVM anyway for your effort

It really looks cool but unpractical for me especially when u at the road side & going to access the road with the side mirrors still folded.

Cool also but still impractical. By the time the side mirrors finished unfold, we might already hit something at the back..lol

Very much agree with u..still looks cool & yet practical

Valid reason indeed. Side mirrors unfold when we start the engine or when we engage the gear knob to R or D or S is a better option

Hmm..definitely i'm not going to temper with the wiring. As we all know it, Preve got BCM that control the behavior of many features of the car. What i'm asking for is whether there's an option in Preve's BCM that they can reconfigure it (the BCM) so that the side mirror will unfold when we start the engine instead of the current setting

Anyway, your effort is so much appreciated bro

I wanna ask u all whether it's a design failure or what.

My driver's side windshield water spray is spraying directly to the wiper arm instead to the windshield. I've complaint this matter to SC during the 1st service & they did adjust the angle of the nozzle (angled up). But it ended up with the water being sprayed across the windshield over the roof..lol. So they adjust back the nozzle (angled down) so that the water will be sprayed straight to the windshield, but then, it's back to its original condition (water being sprayed to the wiper arm)..i guess it is a shameful design failure of the Preve

So what about the others? Is it the same thing happens to your Preve?

The current nozzle angle set by the SC (when i complaint about it) is quite high already. The water is being sprayed at the top of the windshield already & some water sprays to the roof. I think if i DIY it using a pin (adjusting the nozzle angle up), i'm sure enough that the water will be sprayed across the windshield & lubricating the roof instead..lol I'm pretty sure it's a design failure. & i also wish that, instead of a line of water spraying at each nozzle, it's so much better if the water could be sprayed evenly on the windshield as those offers in the Vios or even the Forte. So Proton designers, if u ever read this, kindly take note this as future improvements. Simple matters but it really matters & practical

& yea bro..working today @ Alor Setar

Added on June 24, 2012, 11:01 amOhh..sorry for did not say it clearly. I meant the water will hit the wiper arm when the arm is not moving. The water should not hit the wiper arm regardless the wiper arm is moving or not..that should be the way right? I've driven so many cars & i did not come across this 'feature' on those cars.

Added on June 24, 2012, 11:04 amYupp..u are right..when the wiper arm is not moving. That's surely abnormal. I still think that the Proton designers overlook this issue (designed the nozzles too low or perhaps to near to the wiper arm)

Perhaps u are right..a faulty nozzle. The current nozzle however still can be manually adjusted. But, if i adjust the nozzle higher up to bypass the wiper arm, it will bypass the windshield too & spray the water straight over the roof

Jumpa geng with the same 'feature' already..& yeah..it surely looks stupid. i believe many others might having the same issue. Please give feedback here if u all facing the same issue so that we can make a conclusion whether this issue is an isolated cases or a major cases

I wanna change the navigational software to Papago instead if possible. Papago maps got many POIs & being updated regularly (monthly). The current navigational software supplied by Proton came with a very limited POIs on the map coz i failed to find many POIs that i've search for. My wife even use back her mobile Papago PND (Personal Navigation Device) in the Preve by attaching it to the front windshield. She found out that though the routing is fast (the onboard GPS provided by Proton), the POI search function is not so user friendly & many POIs are not in the map which is very2 inconvenience to her. She works as journalist & always on the move to find any news. So, GPS is a must for her to find places..yet, the Proton-supplied onboard GPS is useless to her due to many shortcomings.

Provided that the TT been held @ Kedah & the event is big enough..surely can cover bro..she's an owner of the Preve anyway..hehe. My posts here is just on her behalf..lol
