mine from 1st to third service go to sc, because of free labour. using shell helix 10w40. 5K service interval. not much problem encountered using this oil, just when the interval reach 5k, car feels heavy.cold start also no problem.
after this i plan to service at normal workshop because of cheaper labour charge.when i ask proton sc their labour charge is RM65

and want to try other brand engine oil.
Since ur car is new, my suggestion is to continue to service at sc until ur warranty expire. if something happen to ur engine or the most expensive part which is the cvt gearbox (cost u rm20k), just because of rm65 labour change, u have to spend thousand of ringgit to repair those.
Do u know that most of cfe part is expensive such the engine itself that include forge crankshaft, low comp piston, cvt gearbox, turbine, ecu, wiring, sensors, cvt gearbox, did i already said cvt gearbox? What i mean is our cvt gearbox is bloody expensive jo. If u said rm65 for labour charge is expensive, i can say rm20k in ur bill u will die straightly huhu. So u choose, keep on the warranty or just ignore the warranty and save rm65?
Most ppl that dont care about warranty, they already know the consequences, have deep pocket for repair and not even bother the rm65 labour charge. R u prepare for that?
U can use other oil. Just buy any oil that within the specification from shop, and bring to the sc when doing ur service. Some sc wont allow but some ok with that. But there is no actual requirement in thr manual nor service book stated that u have to use petronas or shell oil only.
Just my 2cent, and it is up to u btw.
