personal opinion 10W30 / 10W40 / 5W40 synthetic are the best choice from my point of view.

Well of course others may have their own opinions for oil grades.

For some reason, they dun haf any beside 15w50. Else u may gethem at any Petronas station. They sell 5w40 about rm220

Got this from => http://www.turbodriven.com/en/turbofacts/r...mendations.aspx

Recommendations for Servicing and Care
What is good for a turbocharger?
The turbocharger is designed such that it will usually last as long as the engine. It does not require any special maintenance; and inspection is limited to a few periodic checks.

To ensure that the turbocharger's lifetime corresponds to that of the engine, the following engine manufacturer's service instructions must be strictly observed:

Oil change intervals
Oil filter system maintenance
Oil pressure control
Air filter system maintenance

What is bad for a turbocharger?
90 % of all turbocharger failures are due to the following causes:

Penetration of foreign bodies into the turbine or the compressor
Dirt in the oil
Inadequate oil supply (oil pressure/filter system)
High exhaust gas temperatures (ignition system/injection system)
These failures can be avoided by regular maintenance. When maintaining the air filter system, for example, care should be taken that no tramp material gets into the turbocharger.

Failure diagnosis
If the engine does not operate properly, one should not assume that the turbocharger is the cause of failure. It often happens that fully functioning turbochargers are replaced even though the failure does not lie here, but with the engine.

Only after all these points have been checked should one check the turbocharger for faults. Since the turbocharger components are manufactured on high-precision machines to close tolerances and the wheels rotate up to 300,000 rpm, turbochargers should be inspected by qualified specialists only.

leongsem,

as i said earlier, you may get 5w40 at Petronas station @ RM220 +/-.

Petronas Syntium 3000

50 is heavier then 40. Protection will be the same as both came from the same oil. Fuel efficiency definitely 40 compare 50 from my point of view.

I don;t know did you notices that your engine will be very much quieter if using 50.

Proton use NGK Iridium (ILKAR7G7) if not mistaken, it can last 100,000km. There is no reason to change unless there is a faulty plug you r experiencing?

You're right, it is expensive!

Yikes, mine comin to 20k service..hmm

Did they change CVT oil? i think that's the most important?

I did had tht prb after 1k service. The car become less power n un responsive. Where did u service ur car tht time.

I never found why is tht so, but after I had changed to synthetic oil base the engine seems to be more responsive like whem I got the car first time.

mat79,
Yeah you're right, infact i'm using 10w40 and notices that it is difficult to start the engine from cold start, haf to press the gas pedal while cranking it. i memang kaki pecut time to time, pedal to the metal!

Wah, nice..i must cucuk ur bold when i see you driving. haha..

Joking onli but nice sylish rims!

Hhaahaha! good one..most hater club!

Hey bro which open pod did u used? K&N?

Woah! thanks for the share! awesome!

Yeah i saw the picture from Speedworks K&N and i may opt that one with the Heatshield as well he quoted me RM600 for that.

Bro Zakinawi, you may also want to install RaceChip to your car. VERY torqy!!

Bro akchang, Want to know how obvious u feel the different with racechip installed??

[/quote]

All I can say before racechip the car runs a litttle flat. Now you get littlw more torque during pickup and good response.

If you want obvious result get racechip Ultimate.

Interesting! tq for the info, my only concern is our cvt reliability..

[/quote]

Cvt reliable im not too worry about. Most probably our exora bold max torque 160nm (according to my EBDII). Well everyone gets different results I think.

Changing to a better lightbulb void warranty. I'll risk it for safety concern.

Changing to bigger rims, void warranty. I'll risk it for safety concern.

Pumping autofoam to your car chasis void warranty (i assume cause it touches the chasis). I'll do it for safety concern.

Changing to aftermarket performance absorber void warranty. I'll risk it for safety concern.

Changing after market air filter void warranty. I'll do it for better pickup response.

Puttimg a racechip void warranty. I'll do it for more torque and better FC

and there are lots more...

Dun be heart broken, sell this off and get WORKS ENGINEERING drop-in performance filter supposedly should had been out tihs week or coming soon!

have u ever guys notices that your EB geometry not at center? ,look at the tires, do you felt any gap differences from left and right?

just asking

i'd used the odbii scanner and look at the coolant and cvt temp both a little bit identical readings running at 83'C to 90'C.

Btw, anyone installed a boost meter? for fun?
