QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ Jul 13 2012, 06:38 PM) I know majority of people can't accept this fact but if you study the car manual very carefully, it clearly said the most suitable oil for CFE is Mineral 10W30. So unless the manual is printed wrongly or you think you are smarter than Lotus engineer, go ahead and use whatever you want. obviously you are not a regular here... dares is not driving a Prevé.   |

Bro I think there has been a misunderstanding somewhere I asked for 10w-40, the SC gave me 15w-50 without my knowledge, so it is the SC people who think they are smarter than the engineers, I'm just a frustrated recipient of their stupidity. Chill OK  |

Chill OK  this morning too. I never expected to be given 15w-50 engine oil for a brand new car. I did asked for a full syn oil but i thought they understood.  I will monitor my FC and see how it goes  , but seem my engine is more quite now.Lesson learn again , before you guys submitted your car for engine oil change, ask the SA if they really have the stock you requested. Otherwise  |

Some adviseFor any piston enjin always better go for fully syn But for light footer,semi syn enough-its all depend on your bajet And since preve is new car and u not heavy footer all the time,semi/fully 10w30 shud be ok--good for your FC too |

Hmmm...just noticed this evening that theres some rust on the exhaust support. Looks like there's a few ppl with the same issue. I've booked my service appointment on monday for my 1000km service. Will highlight this then, but for any of you guys here who had the same issue, did they replace it, or just sand it off for you guys?
