rm3k+ is promo price ke??or ori price??
wait got offer dulu baru beli

hahaha.. good job in korek old picture..

you put inside lo. put under DIY section. i at office now. cannot do it

Why the heck are you using a weight 50 lube? Too heavy for the engine, does not good for your FC and pickup power. Even tho its fully syn, you're better off using syn 800 weight 30 or 40 semi syn.

why 6k have to pay the labor cost? tot its still free

that i wan to say just now...50 is too heavy
use syntium 3000 5w40 better if fully syn

5k free...6k no free?

10W40 would be good enuf.

Edit: maybe he is high mileage driver

I think 15W50 is too thick. If high mileage, Syntium 3000 5W40 is also very good. Look at both 15W50 & 5W40 Product Data Sheet.

Both are ACEA A3 (HTHS >= 3.5: meaning good protection at high temp and high shear situations such as found in the CFE's turbine). Both are rated for VW502.00 & VW505.00 (generally means you can go for 10,000 km oil change. Therefore protection wise Syntium 1000 15W50 & Syntium 3000 5W40 are similiar.

But 5W40 being a lower viscosity oil would mean better protection at startup (5W part) and slightly better FC (40 part).

Personally I am using Syntium 5000 0W30 (ACEA A1/A5) rated. It can last 10,000 km but protection not as good as ACEA A3 rated oil. Next service at 10,000 km I am thinking to change to Syntium 5000 0W40 (ACEA A3 rated).

Edit: One cons of using 5W40 is that I believe it is slightly more expensive than 15W50

bukan ker 3x service free?

Unfortunately Proton Edar especially CoSE stock only Syn 1000 W50 for FS. If you want 40 or 30, only semi available. Thats why some ppl without the knowledge opt for the FS without realising the weight actually reduce the PICKUP quite noticeably.

W50 is good for older cars where the piston wall bore gap has worn and gap are larger thus require thicker lube. Its also good for cars that run high speed with very hot engine and its good for extreme hot weather (Saudi, etc). For Preve and other newer proton, I doub't we'll ever need 50 weighted lube unless its old.

Even tho its FS, the lube is too thick for balance FC saving and pickup power, so for me, its not worth it to change to weight 50 FS coz the the car will USUALLY be heavier on pickup and does not help in FC in order to reduce 1 service.

oh btw 5W does not mean better startup. There is no difference in 0W, 5W and 10W as it is winter rating, sub zero temperature, so 10W will act the same as 5W in our morning startup.

However the bigger difference in the gap between winter rating and original rating (5W40m, 0W40), more viscosity addictives is needed thus when it wears out, it will have bigger affect on your viscosity changes. One of the many reason I recommend lube changes BEFORE addictives runs out. When you do that, then any negative effects of caused by worn addictives is render irrelevant.

fairly lembik ?
hmm....

jk...

After reading this, I went to check my receipt again because I serviced my car at COE this morning as well. I told the SA I want fully syn Petronas 40 weight, she nod and say OK OK.

TEW LOR, I just saw on my receipt, 15W-50

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

kena chop?

No, price is right. But they pour in heavy oil (15w-50) for me

dafuq.. full sync still 5k service interval...

walan...why like that

oh well, have to spend more on petrol loo.

I tell you, these jokers at COE....

1st mistake - tell them I want 10w-40 fully syn, but service slip there tick "semi-syn", I spot it and tell them to correct it.

2nd mistake - my car 10k service, at the receipt there written 32,000km tell them to correct, waited another extra 15 minutes.

3rd mistake - 10w-40 my foot!!!!!!!
