if you bring own lubricant for service, anything warranty claim on the engine will not be entertain.

So have to use the SC engine oil.

Any idea what brand of oil they typically use if i request for FS oil?

Also manual says need to use 10W-30 or better, can use 5W-30? Or need to use 5W-40

As I work in O&G field, I have some accesses to purchase engine oil (any brand, any spec) at staff price Usually I ask what oil will be used if I send for service, and some SC do allow me to bring my own.

Kena rm 180.

Yup experience with campro usually after 20 000km FC will improve

Proton service centres, either using Petronas or Shell.
if you travel frequent, use fully synthetic. save labour charge in the long run.
if you just clocking 5k km around 3 months, may just use semi syn.
5W-40 slightly better.

yes, they still allow now. something wrong with your engine, the time you want to warranty claim. just prepare to shout here and there.
working in O&G field, salary per month is like what?? 8k-15k? is it worth to challenge them next time?


amount save for every oil change (10k km);
15 times X RM80 (assume the max) = RM1,200
RM1200 spanning over the 5 years, is it worth?

As an O&G profession background, what's your personal oil grade for Preve CFE here in Malaysia?

Bros.. Anyone know how to remove the Preve front grille? I manage to remove the top 4 clips... But can't get it off the bumper.. I don't dare to pull out cause don't know how is the bottom clips like, don't want to accidentally break it off

30 a bit too thin for turbo engine... better get 40 at least...

Proton SC for sure bringing Petronas engine oil (support local product)
But some SC no bring in the higher range of engine oil...

Nah my field is in upstream, and not production (downstream) But full or semi, they both have their own pros and cons. No doubt you'll get more mileage with fully, but I feel better sending my car for service every 5,000km

i din say anything to the SC and my next service is 10000km (first service that day)
how to know the engine oil is for 10000km or 5000km? (car noobs)

is it true labor cost for 20k service is rm120? anyone can share some experience of it?.. btw..i'm already used the free labor cost for 1k,5k,&10k interval service..

Thank you for sharing.

If it's true, you service at outside workshop better than SC

can you guys play MP3 CD on your preve stock radio? i burned a MP3 CD and i can't play it on my radio. it says "CD ERROR".

i thought this stock player can play MP3?? or only MP3 from other device??

they stated as "major service"..that's why 120rm.. homai~~~

cd can meh play audio with mp3? as far as i know, it reads .wmv files (on previous proton models)

my pug 308 and myvi also can play raw MP3 files CD, that's why i thought this preve radio also can.
.wmv file? or do you mean .wma ? if .wma then it's Audio CD already, not mp3 cd.
or am i mistaking something here?

oow.. yeah .wma files.. im nt so sure though.. cz last time, tested in saga blm..

I've personally tested this in Preve HU:
* can play MP3, WMA in thumb drives
* can play playlist, and manually select songs in playlist (.m3u)
* can stream bluetooth audio from smartphones. On my Samsung S Advance (Android 4.X) I can pause, play next, play previous, mute the music in my smartphone using the steering controls

preves should be able to play mp3 files..
my 2006 satria neo oem player can..
takkan a 2012/13 car cannot..
