u going to leave us...

sudah upgrade. we still need to stick here dunno how long.

sudah like lancer just get lancer XD
used car maybe can get civic. Altis i personally think it is not bad.
Nissan design not that good recently so no comment. haha.
mazda 3 may be around your budget also i suppose.

wont offend de... actually is a fact.
i think the best proton car at the moment is inspira only...
the rest problem many...

Morning PE Kaki...

PE H-Line ok lar for...mmm.....for now only 1 year old, personally, its better than when new, coz LCP push the low torque to acceptable level and almost all noise that plague the car for first few month (rear door, back seat, seat), all gone, either magically and DIY. Using better EO with same price.....Caltex Havoline semi even lowered the engine noise abit.

If 2nd hand car value is a key issue, Civic will be the one to go, rarely drop price, only goes up. Depreciation rate of Civic, IMO, is one of the best around vs other similar range. Of course don't go for the 7th gen 1.7cc one, that one got torque dip issue. 8 gen is good, engine no prob but 1.8cc is going to be a bit underpowered at low torque, better than PE anytime tho. FC is going to suffer a bit, imo, lebih makan sikit than PE but then again, its a MUCH bigger car and very comfortable with acceptable handling, unmodded.

roughly how much is the halvoline? cant find in fnf thread.. saw one caltex EO dealer at sri gombak prima.. thinking of getting one while waiting cusco to arrive

one more, there's a cat's nail scratch at my bonnet due to cat loves to sleep on my car. can it be remove by waxing??

i bought RM104 from petrol station semi 10W-40 SN rating

Ya, it's safer to buy from caltex petrol station. Garantee no fake. Don't know havoline got fake or not, better no risk it unless the its a verified reliable source.

Syntium 800 almost same price (RM103), the new sn-rated havoline perform almost the same but produced less engine noise and vibration (maybe). Seems smoother in acceleration. SN rated lube have enhanced wear and sludge protection vs standard sm rated lube. However since good brands lube usually exceed SM rate guideline, it really depends on lube quality.

listen to minyak man's advice and you won't go wrong.

i feel my car a bit more sluggish after using Halvoline. FC wise still monitoring. highway fc seems to be on the high side. PJ - Ipoh auto cruise 110km/h use half tank . duno whether COSE really pour in my Halvoline anot

Atas said Minyak man is correct, bawah said halvoline is sluggish.
Maybe they pour to the max liao. Check your dipstick.

Sluggish?? got use with Caltex Petrol Ron 95? U won't feel sluggish,

Better dun use Halvoline, use Shell will be better.

Civic if I were to buy it i will still get the 2.0. XD

advised to get it at caltex station just in case.

I using fully synthetic but cost more than 2 bottle of semi. why!!
but it is SM grade lah. going to change soon. cannot wait for the Cusco also.
I think this time can get SN grade de fully edi.

maybe your car not adapting?

actually i am curious about the max line. there is two curve in on our dipstick rite??
normally you all the engine oil lvl until where??

one thing i realised is Caltex will be a bit less powerful during low end.

then our car will cough. hahaha~~
btw, one thing about shell EO, i think is not that rough compare to petronas initially.
but it doesnt last, so no point also.

my car really feel sluggish...after pump Shell 95. (Cause that day really cannot find other petrol station, pump RM 20/=). I have to press pedal more .

share my finding ma..
they poured the whole bottle. my bottle is empty. over-poured?

change EO need to adapt? still semi wor altho different brand
reset ECU?

siham hx7 10W40 user here, after changed from castrol mineral 15w40(used for engine run-in) to this current siham, FC increase and pickup slower. wat to do, already stock-up a few bottle during tesco and carrefour promotion.
i guess although it's still same xxW40-weighted oil, but siham maybe thicker abit.

that day i also no choice cannot find petrol station had to go shell, but I pump Ron97. Slightly better a bit than other. but not much improvement. but much better than using Ron95 shell.

No idea. sometimes funny de mah our cars.
mine also always pour whole bottle.
i realised last time when serviced in SC, they pour whole bottle the dipstick will more than max. Using Petronas Syntium 800. when warranty ends, now always service outside, they also pour full bottle of self buy EO, but never more than max.
Is it SC din drain the oil clean enuf or Petronas Syntium EO is more??

Sell away your stock lor. other car still run nice with shell mah.

my car got hit this morning while going to work.haishhhh.now in workshop.ayem sadding liao.pfff.

Actually if you can find my initial post on Havoline performance (I change last month), I did not have good review on it. Massive vibration, sluggish acceleration performance, louder engine noise. Give me a scared. I have also change a new stock air filter, so not sure which one cause it.

The continues for about 300km. From there, it started to change for better. By the time it hit 500km, vibration subside back to original, engine noise reduced and become even more muted than b4 EO change, acceleration began to smoothen then proceed to accelerate better than b4 EO change. The muted engine noise and increase smoothness of acceleration when accelerating gives an impression of sluggish performance but in reality, its actually better (this is the same impression similar to CVT drive where smooth gearless acceleration gives an impression of no power but actually has best power to acceleration ratio). However still have a feeling like high end speed harder to reach...
last time very easy to reach 120-130, now seems like longer a bit to reach. However high speed drive engine noise DEFINITELY reduce noticeably for me, acceleration during that point is as good as ever.

Maybe ECU do need to adapt....maybe this new SN rate stick to part lube react differently, totally clueless why initial performance not good.

I ALWAYS requested using only 3.7-3.8 liter only, ngam ngam and sometime even exceed a bit, so imagine full 4 liter usage.

whose fault? CoSE got fix for accident claim, So is world car care at Serdang.
