Tomorrow we will see Preves queuing up at Esso

Exxon Mobile now is called petron... still same quality like Exxon last time?

I've tried RON97, engine is smoother and acceleration feels less laborious. Better FC but when you calculate RM/km it is not worth it for me as RON95 gives cheaper RM/km.

Try 2 full tanks of RON97 and then change back to RON95. You may feel you'd only want to fill with RON97 .

my place esso havent change signboard yet...
will try the petron fuel and monitor again

i dare not try the petron... but i have thousand of smile point with Exxon... shall i try? since i can use the point and exchange 1 full tank from them

one more reminder for pumping petrol, try go for those big2 petrol station, which like got 20 stations or not...avoid those small2 petrol station...

got advice from my father where big petrol station wont risk their reputation and license to mix up petrol with water...

my hometown, got shell petrol station mix petrol with water....

Petron inked a deal with MAS for A380 fuel supply. Fill your Preve with Petron, it will fly just like A380

arent you need 3k points to change 1 full tank?
its what i heard from the staff when i apply for smiles/mesra card...

sad to say esp kampung area, mostly tend to mix petrol with water.

hmmn... was using Petronas.. just filled up Shell to test.

no wonder few vios also terbang d... hmm.. all becoz of petron..

lol.... ya ya ya

nope... 3K point only for RM30 patrol... i have around 7k+ point

i never redeem point until now...got about 20k point
i think the petron fuel is ok la...

adam longtime no see...migrate to fb oredi?

for water mix with petrol, i don't think any petrol station dealer will risk that regardless small or big station...
it's happen usually because of leaked tank, or sometimes the tanker driver stole the petrol, then add water to level it up...

currently, i'm using caltex techron95, feels quite ok... FC just about the same as Esso that i used previously...

about the water mix petrol shit, remember oil is lighter than water? how would water mix with oil? how would u pump water into ur fuel tank in this case? The tank below the fuel station is like maybe thousands litres, imagine the capacity and the square area it takes and the amount of water u needed to level the petrol up. Even u level the petrol up, the pipe only suck the petrol up at the bottom, u will end up with water in ur tank, and ur engine will kong in no time.

In real world, unless u stir the mixture all the time and suck the petrol up at the same time, oil and water never mix, else putting out fire would be much much easier

the quantity of water is minimum, when you run till almost empty tank, your car will jerk abit, then smooth, then jerk abit, then smooth...just don't go and pump at the commonly flooded area will do..

that my experience only..

as i said, the petrol station operators won't dare to mix water with petrol intentionally...
if even a customer complains of damaged engine due to mix, they will have to stop their operation and clean the tank until the issue resolves...

wat i mean is, water will NOT mix with oil, it will not mix 1 drop even inside the oil, unless it is stirred, which isnt called "mix" anyway. They are totally insoluble. When run almost empty tank, ur car jerk jerk is becos ur car not receiving the ample amount of fuel to complete the combustion, due to low pressure inside ur fuel tank and even fuel pump also cannot help cos too low volume of petrol inside. If flooded area, water go into their BIG tank of fuel vessel under the station, i believe maybe 100-200L of water seeped into the tank might only raise their tank level by maybe 10-20cm? in a real life scale, 10-20cm in a fking huge tank is like very small scale only.. the tank might have 500-1k litre? water will not trap inside huge amount of oil, same like u drop a metal inside the water, metal will float in the middle? it will always mendap at the bottom.. 1 oil truck carry 20-30k litre of fuel. The nozzle they never put it at the bottom, u notice? owes like at some level, cos in case got water, water will stay at the lowest level, so they wont suck water out. Same for the petrol station.

After about 100km drive today. I find that most of the thing are alright. Just have some problem.

1. Engine Crank 1 second in the morning start, others start no.
2. The door step(i don know what it call) will trap the rain water. Early morning heavy rain. After finish work around 6pm, i still see the water at the door step.
3. HU can't detect my SD card, it show no map SD inserted, ask me to insert original SD card. But my SC try with test-drive car, the SD card work. T.T
4. The door control panel is lifted once the window is close. It will only return to position when i close the window.

Other than these, everything are nice.^^ Btw, i love the changing lane signal, keep using it today.. hehehe

Good that you have a problem free car..i guess proton has rectify the earlier batch problem..hope so.The rest of your problem is only minor..

congratz for a nice car bro! those are very very minor issues only! enjoy your new ride!!!
