now mine also 6k+ km...will go service at 10k km...1k,10k,20k

can this magnetrap be reused?

Yes the theory is sound, except the magnetrap magnet is too weak to be useful. So actually you spend that money for nothing.

There are proper magnetic filter rings with much more powerful magnets. my friend has one that costs over RM 200.

wah sai... i added 5kg weight to my preve....

got timbang la... sure... wei.. u at KL or Ipoh now?

Guys,

Gonna go for my 1k service soon. Called Seremban proton edar today, their booking is full till 18th august. Probably will go to a authorised service center only. Or u guys think I should still wait till the service center has a spot?

While driving up or down hill, there is some slight jerking of the car but the car engine won't die off, while pickup after a complete stop is slow compare to my old myvi. Anyone mind giving me some heads up?

My chasis no is 103xx

jump ship~

yeah.. same with flx... standstill throttle respond preve is out of the pictures... but after a few 400-500meter... eat dust lagi best!

if uphill i prefer shiftronic... use the manual gear.. this will help u eliminate thejerking.

yeah a bit... but it can throttle up your RPM beyond 2000. this is very useful for uphill experiences.

2nd service at 10k mileage?
1st service u use full syn?

what is the problem of your gearbox?  noisy? 
I was told by one of the Wheel alignment technician (from SE) that my gearbox is too noisy like most of the preve that he has tested.  For long run, the gearbox can be damaged easily.  He suggests me to make complain.

i think its useful advice...take a look

Actually 5W30 will NOT be thicker than 10W30 in early morning. Reason is even at 10W winter rating, our country temperature never falls below 10 degree. 5W goes far beyong sub zero temperature. So at our early morning temperature, both 10W or 5W rate lube flows at the same thickness.

Also, in actual real life usage, mineral and semi syn has the same lasting affect on addictives. Both lasted at 5K mileage. Semi syn addictives WILL NOT last any longer than mineral's addictives. Some drag the service longer to JUSTIFY the higher price for semi but unfortunately it does not works that way. The small amt of synthetic based blended in will increase the quality of lubrication BUT addictives lasted the same.

In general, Fully Syn addictives lasted no longer than mineral and semi. The larger amt of synthetic based plus the highly refined hydrocracked mineral based used in FS has increased the natural viscosity that will increase natural viscosity index and higly refined lubricating effect. It can holds engine contaminant better. HOWEVER it is widely known the addictives actually lasted the same wearing period, maybe slightly longer due to the higher quality lube based that put lesser strain on the addictives wearing time. That is why I usually recommend a 5K change even for FS or at most drag till 7K mileage to maintain OPTIMUM long lasting and clean engine performance.

Again SC might succumb to cost justification for usage of FS. Anyway most damage of engine that will decrease performance or wear out components much fast will come later in the car life, way past their engine warranty period. Not much problem for those that intend to sell car after a few years drive but pity the ones that NEED to use the cars for a very long time......such as like myself...

ps. Most ppl can use FS till 10K service. Note that it is the EOL of the engine lube meaning addictives will be worn out by then. Maybe not much damage but the theory is CHANGING the lube before addictives is near worn out so as to MINIMIZE the long term wear out and damage rate. At 70% worn out addictives does not protect engine well anymore. So changing at 5K means changing lube while addicitives still have high level protection level, the moment protection reduce greatly after that, lets hope you won't use your car for long time....else be prepare to pay big time later in its car life.
