Preve (CFE) uses 4L of oil if you changed the filter too. I watched them (not at Sec 13 though) change the oil and poured all the contents of bottle. I checked the dip stick and it barely touches the max level.

Another thing is for CFE engine Proton recommend 10w/30 viscosity. The lowest grade petrpnas had is syntium 800 5w/30

normal for campro engine, whereby if u check when the engine is hot, the oil level on the dip stick would be higher than it is when the engine is cold

Preve needs the whole 4 liters.

The infamous sound from the rear is still something that plaguing current batch huh? Mine is already gone as mysterious as it came over time I finally get my ears tuned to the CVT whirring, in fact I would feel slightly 'uncomfortable' when I drive other cars

You lost one thing not to floor this car. Experience at 150km/h should be able to amaze you for a car with this price tag.

cuak already.

last time when test drove ExoraBold CFE, front wheel wheel spin woh.


belakang xde bunyi pelik2. boleh cakap loud n clear.

spinning the tire can be done in exora bold because no traction control interfering

I guess you should try again with Preve CFE It handles and accelerates better than Altis

give a rolling start drag race.. u would be smiling all the way

Case of thermal expansion and contract when cooled

Anyone experience these issues as below for the Preve Turbo :-

1) When the engine and lights are switched off, you go shopping for 1-2 hours and when you come back you see the strip of white lights on the car is switched on. It's not the main (yellow) headlights but the strip of (white) lights below the main head lights.

Why these lights are automatically on sometimes? On the light switch, everything is already "Off".

2) When you insert the key and press the start button, the engine takes a longer time, say 3-4 seconds to start(usually just about 1 second). Before the engine starts there is a message "Battery Low".

1) that one is called position light, it is normal when you unlock the car it will switch it on itself.

2)Battery low better go claim for a new one.

faced the 2nd situation once.. that was also after washing the car on a incline surface.. but never had the problem before and after that.. 5k mileage and still going on..

Thanks for the response. So (1) is normal. As for low battery, I have only used the car for about 2 months only. Mileage is still below 2,000km. Will monitor and see how it goes. Sometimes the electronics of the car just goes haywire. I suspect the battery is still strong, and it is just that the message just comes up sometimes when the engine takes some time to start itself.

Okay thanks for the information. Hopefully I won't get the message too many times.

It happens only once. When the start button is pressed, the engine takes a long time(effort) to start, then the message will appear. But when the engine is already running, the message disappears.

see your battery bloat out or not? If yes, that means need to change a new one..

There is no more sound coming from the rear of my car already. No annoying rattling sound and pretty quiet so far, though my car is still new, only about 2 months old. CVT and Turbo engine sound is normal in the Preve Turbo, though similarly have got used to it. Only when one is already used to driving quiet cars, then he will feel the Preve Turbo to be little noisy.

The Preve Turbo compensates with excellent delivery power and acceleration though. I recently let a friend of mine tested the car and he commented that the car's acceleration is powerful.

Okay thanks for the note. Will have a look when I have the time. Cheers.
