for those who want to discuss FC of Preve, could you include the average speed as well?

city drive, highway drive, or city + highway drive..i think cannot really get the picture of the FC... icon_rolleyes.gif

My previous average speed before CNY was only 18km/h, FC at 12.3l/100km

Recently, average speed at 23km/h, FC at 10.2l/100km,

for Highway drive, average at 92km/h, FC at 6.3l/100km

i think what mr jayworm mean is that accidently pressed paddle shift paddle at steering and still in d mode at gear shifter coz even if u r in d mode,not using the tip shift at gear lever(slot to left to enter full manual mode), u still shift it using paddle shift. just double check,if that not the case,then need to send for check up the tcu.

Is there any difference when using the gear shift and paddle shift? Thought both will overide the gear manually?

please check whether they change the the same rating oil coz factory fitting oil is mineral 10w 30.

2ndly, check whether u r checking the average fc@instance one, n remember to reset it coz the reading will be average of since day one unless u reset it.

3rdly, just probability, even with same driving habit n route, but its not the same idling time coz idling time also can cause up to 30% diff in fc(including idling at traffic which not the same everyday), so,there willl be a plus minus for every fc.1 to 2 litre plus minus, is normal.

4thly, another way to get better mileage that even me dont do it nowadays is to wind up windows, driving less than 90kmh :-). Have u guys try this out in cfe? Its efficient, but not comfortable. Thats why i never suggest this method. But for fun sake to check how much the compressor take out the power n fc, give it a try for a full tank.

I did not reset the reading.
By the way 1k service I used syntium 1000 full synthetic i guess as recommended by the SC.

I don't think they do any reset ECU / TCU, tuning for my car during 1k service. As I went there on Saturday.

Was told Saturday only can do oil change. So I guess no tuning will be perform.

Syntium 1000 15W50? That oil is too thick. Proton recommends 10W30. So it is better to use Syntium 800 10W30 semi compared to Syntium 1000 fully.

As a guide, use xW30 or xW40, either fully or semi. Personally I am using Syntium 5000 0W30 fully. 10,000km OCI (oil change interval)

BTW, use of 15W50 will not damage your engine. Just that the engine will feel lethargic.

Yes I buy myself. Proton Edar SC in Bangi allows you to use your own engine oil.

sighh. now my power window cannot automatically wind up again (actually it has been 6 days). This problem occurs few if not a lot of times before. but after few times forcing the window to wind up it'll go back to normal. but now, still having the problem after 6 days. it will stop in the middle as if something is stucked. proton with power windows. always fail. lol
