I try petronas since last sunday... normal drive is ok but if i half throttle and above... can hear pinging sound..! >.<

This usually means 1 thing and that is, Petronas RON95 has lower octane rating than listed. Probably only RON92? Try Shell and other station and see how it goes.

i test drive 3 preve premium from different showroom. I found that the engine noise is very loud when accelerating, anyway to solve this issue?

This seems normal for CVT. Google and many people complained about noise.

Engine not only sounded loud, they sounded funny like those toy cars using winded up metal band. But once above 60kph, should sounded quiet. But somehow not many people complained about this.

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!!!!!!!!!

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.

I am only repeating what the CFE car manual says so any objection/dispute/questions, you take it up with the Lotus engineers who designed the engine. Leave me out of it.
