Proton cars do not recommend any 5w30 oil for their vehicles somehow but I know where you can purchase them.

Try head to any Suzuki service centre nearby, all suzuki vehicles are using 5w30. Its either semi or fully, 4litre or 3 litre pack.
4 litre semi, selling around RM97.
Those are all Petronas API SM grade, rebadged oil.

yaya.. all suzuki vehicles are using 5w30. U can found it at any Suzuki SC

Thanks. I want buy fully syntium Is it like this? http://www.gnm.my/itemdetail.php?item_id=346
but still don't get the 800, 2000,3000,4000,5000

Go buy from Suzuki service centre then.

Go purchase the 5w30 fully synthetic.
If you around Ipoh, I do have in my Suzuki service centre


Else, you can check them here.

Suzuki service centre got 1 type of petronas 5w-30 only? I will look for it when I have the time.
Thanks a lot.

LOL!!!

I heard many people got their power-window actuator replaced, wonder why COSE simply repair it?
Can anyone tell what is the actual problem on the power window that Porton need to recall this item? Also "gluk gluk" sound?

Yes only one type.

We only sell API SM grade, 5w30 semi (3litre and 4litre) and 5w30 fully (3litre and 4litre)

So I just take 4 litre right? How much the price? got higher than rm200?
Thanks. LOL today ask so many questions about engine oil again.

I remember.....around RM170 to Rm180....
Just purchase the 4 litre.
Have to check again tomorrow, its generally cheaper than buying Petronas engine oil at any Proton Edar service centre.

No idea why but for us Suzuki, Suzuki Malaysia Automobile do get us a better offer than Proton though.....

How come proton doesn't encourage to use thinner oil, since thinner oil gives better performance?

Too thin may cause engine oil leaking perhaps? Not advisable for new engine, that's for sure.

Not all cars designed to run with thinner oil, especially those not properly maintained.

is it cheaper that petronas station?

nxt service planning to use L.moly full syn oil

right wiper touching frame is not normal bro.. later got heavy raining, ur wiper rubber will be hancur becoz of wiping the windscreen at very high speed.. summore got "ketak ketak ketak" sound.. so annoying... about the power window "glu glu glu" sound, my power window doesn't have that sound.. only sometimes sound like "krakk tik tik tik".. or "tak tak tak" something like that.. but i doesn't mind much about the sound, as long as the power window is working..

headlamp settings.. height of the headlamp beam.. i found out that my headlamp high beam is not high enough.. causing limited view when night driving on quiet state road for example.. ask them to readjust, still untested yet..

good for u..

'tak tak tak' is only on rainy day? hmm.. gonna test it out when raining..

So can use on Preve since its still new? Don't want oil leaking LOL

800 is semi.. 1000 and above is fully...

1000 = 15W-50
3000 = 5W-40
5000 = 0W-40 and 0W-30

most Proton SC has only syntium 1000 for fully..

my 3 colleague driving honda, toyota and hyundai... so guess it why they say so...


i did a visit to Nissan and Proton to test drive with Almera and Preve...

Almera:
no doubt about the engine performance 1.5cc, maybe bcos of light kerb weight 1000kg, floor the pedal and my wife can feel the pressure as she said she "glued" on the back seat while i floor pedal... cabin size, just right enough for me and slightly bigger than honda city... finish quality mo doubt, still better than Preve... Steering wheel lighter than Preve... rear seat seem have longer leg room as feel by my wife compare to Preve... also have informative meter like Preve, such as average fuel consumption, KM to empty tank, etc... but lack of features even though full spec version and chassis still with rear torsion beam and required to fork out another RM3000-RM6000 for proper upgrade with recommended accessories and RM1500 (offering 50% off from Rm3000) for IMPUL body kit only ... but sad only that 1 air bag for low spec and my wife complain about it...

Preve:
I tested the first batch, the door panel will "pregnant" after the window fully up... i told to SA that i dont want waist my time to solve the common issues but SA claimed confidently that Proton solved the power window issues and remap ECU on the second batch which is started manufactured from 10th of November onwards... rear bonnet cabin seem a little bit smaller as the "wide ass" shorter than almera... the cabin floor surface seem a bit higher than almera, end up the rear passenger's leg have to lift higher... but of cos Preve are wider than Almera as Preve can sit 3 person easily at rear seat... can feel Preve have much roomy at front seat as the dashboard have the distance betweem driver and passenger but Almera are much closer... features wise, no doubt Preve win with both hands up, henve can override with the gearing by using paddle shift even though under full auto mode (can upshift / downshift manually under D mode)... but sad that no leather seat, have to settle it by myself...

Conclusion:
Comparing between Almera basic auto spec with all the recommended upgrade RM70k + RM6k + RM1.5k and Preve CFE with rich features RM68k... still i think will go for Preve instead... hope Proton wont disappointing me as i highlighted the power window issues to SA repeat and repeat...

Not sure how much petronas station sell, as I know petronas semi retail price is RM101.20
I sell RM97 to suzuki customers

Hi i ve just placed a deposit for my 1st car , preve exe CVT ...
I Have briefly go through some of the post in the forum ...
Can i conclude that the FC for preve is more than 10km per l, correct me if im wrong and the preve you guys mentioned included preve exe cvt ? For my understanding most of you are driving the premium version ...
Before it's too late, can any1 advices on the diff between exe n premium version (performance wise mainly the fc rather than those fancy item like auto sensor , push start button , spoiler etc ). FYI , i seldom out for long journey , mainly the car is use in town area of which always get trap in traffic congestion , slow down by traffic lights etc ... Your advices are much appreciated
