just drive ur car normally...then drive till ~1000km baru go for 1st service
u belum buy car worry so much...afraid u end up driving it unhappily...

ok...jz make sure u check ur car when u go n take it...n enjoy d ride...
as u start driving...when ur car give u issue then try to post here we will try to help...

anyway bila boleh dapat kereta?loan approval need to wait for how many days?

never heard of the phrase,

"banks are less reluctant to approve loans to those who doesn't need it than to those who really need it."

If the car is problematic, then issues will come even if you're careful with it. I would say the drivetrain which includes engine and gearbox is fairly reliable. The trim work of the car is bad, that's why causing rattling or even water leaking

Quite the contrary, banks wants to lend to every tom, d*** and harry that walks thru their door. The riskier you are, the happier they are to give you a loan, because they can then justify a higher interest rate. The only thing stopping them is Bank Negara and their regulations; if a particular bank have too much defaulters, they will have to answer to Bank Negara why did they approve these loans, hence the strict requirements.

Anyways, 2.7% for a Proton is quite good actually.

Change your EO at around 1K, don't drag further due to the metal shaving but don't shorten it either coz most metal shaving still happens before 1K before it "blend in". So let it be until 1K then tukar to semi EO. Don't wait till 6K mileages (lots of ppl do coz they calc 1k eo change +5K mileage). Change it at 5K to throw out the remaining residue of shavings that should still occur up to 5K. After that, use semi EO again. Change at 10K mileage. Try not to use FS before 10K coz its smoother lubrication actually have a slightly negative impact for long term performance (due to parts requires a bit more rubbing between each others to fit each others nooks and holes or whatever). After 10K, use whatever you want.

I concur with mengsuan on driving normally. Driving too careful is not good.

I jaga kereta very well one as my cars all lasted for years while maintaining performance almost as good as new even after 7-10 years. I prefer soft break in tho. Drive no more than 110km/h within 1K mileage. Within 5K mileage, try to maintain no more than 120km/h although with PE excelling in highway run, very hard to do. So for you, just keep the first 2K-3K within 110km/h. This is too allow new parts to become "veteran". Hard breakin is not my thing, so don't know what effect since I don't do hard driving at 160km/h. But at 100-140km/h this method would enable has good and balanced performance after years and years.

Although PETRONAS EO is inferior to other brands like Caltex Havoline semi, its actually ok to use. More vibration, less power but ok. I myself used PETRONAS EO up to 20K mileage coz got FOC EO promotion with I bought H-Line car then, up to 20K service. No problem, feels ok.......that is until I change to Havoline semi only realise, engine becomes muted, less vibration, slightly smoother acceleration (might be placebo at that)...

Note that nowadays, proton sc especially Edar, require use of their EO up until warranty expire, at least 2 years. I switch my EO on 25K mileage. Now near 40K mileage at hit 2 years this month. No issue unless you buy fake oil (that is one of key reason SC insist on own oil, coz they don't know your source of EO). Havoline 100% no fake if buy from Caltex petrol station. If you really takut warranty, can use PETRONAS EO until warranty expire. If not.....so far I have NOT hear any warranty TRULY voided due to engine oil unless your engine oil proven to be fake. If not can always argue on case to case basis.
