shell engine oil is good. but not for persona. reason we don't know.
but the engine oil seems to become dark very fast (if old engine, it may show good as it means the detergent is cleaning the engine, however even in brand new engine, the engine oil darken very fast)
also seems to have slightly more poor performance and not that smooth. if u can actually feel it.
anyway, that first page is dinasaur era till now. a lot of info are updated which if u need it, ask. it is not provided in first page. hahaha

first 3 service, just go sc and say u want service. don't think they allow own engine oil. everything should buy there i think.
what is needed will be engine oil, oil filter, gasket drain plug. not needed such magnatrap, X1R.
if i remember correctly, 3rd service 10k I changed gear oil and air filter also.
recommended engine oil? In this thread: Caltex Havoline, Cusco, Castrol, Liquidmoly, Rock oil, Eneos. Mitsubishi pun ada. Not to say is best, but reviews from user are: better than the SC common engine oil which is shell/petronas.
standard 3 free service for 10k km.
warranty standard is 50k km/2 years. maybe got free extended then will be 100k km/5 years.
most parts have limited warranty and also no warranty.
eg: exhaust system 1 year(you can change them after one year XD)
*
means after the 10k I can go service at any centres without voiding the warranty rite? just cannot modify those covered parts eg exhaust like u said? hahax. any semi sync engine oil recommended as above also ok? hehe. last time bought 2nd hand car nvr cared also, jz go to service centre recommended by friend's dad and that's it. per service i think around 120RM. but that car i skidded at tapah n nw filing fr total loss claim. duno dapat or not. icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

after 10k still must go to sc. if u go outside service, then no more warranty. to be reasonable, modifying exhaust system only meant no more warranty on exhaust system. but proton which also know as potong, u change apa pun can void warranty. there is case where, pasang light at the keyhole there sudah void warranty. very pro.
if u are very scared of ur car will break down and wanted to claim warranty, please tahan itchy for 2years until ur warranty over only do any mod.
engine and gearbox is the most crucial if it break down and u wanna claim warranty. if no more warranty ur engine/gearbox break down....then.....
unless u just fck warranty and just start mod after u get ur car like ckdenion

few thing u will realise from the car that most ppl are not satisfied when the car is new/stock
1) car have poor pickup
2) car fuel consumption high
3) braking power is very very very bad(not applicable for h-line)
4) throttle lag
5) rear speaker is loud but front nothing
6) headlamp not bright enuf
7) rattling sound
*
2) car fuel consumption high ---> OMG? icon_question.gif icon_question.gif any solution to this?

3) braking power is very very very bad ---> there's only standard model now.. HOW? @@''

5) rear speaker is loud but front nothing ---> need mod then? moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gif

7) rattling sound ---> any solution? ohmy.gif ohmy.gif

Copied from ckdenion's performance mod:

4. Hotbits 4-2-1 Extractor
5. Wegow 12" Swirl Bullet
6. 5zigen S-flow Muffler

How does it improve the performance? In terms of pickup, FC? Englighten meeee ^^

The fuel consumption is okay, don't worry. Don't drive it too soft when you get the car, vary your engine rpm through the entire range when you get it.

Entire Range? Until red zone? Crazy ar? lolx. Or hit entire range on neutral? rclxub.gif

well, why saga SE?
1) Stylish with full bodykit and 15'' alloy rims
2) 1.6 engine with CVT
3) 200+/- kg lighter than persona
4) ABS + EBD
5) bcoz of 2 and 3, much better fc.
6) more spacious legroom at the rear
7) stiffer suspension for better handling. if u actually notice, at the old gen BLM, when u are fetching full load, u will see the rear go down

if persona got h-line still ok. like i said, other specs the pros and cons are:
1) heavy body of 1200+kg for 1.6 coupled with 30% power loss 4AT. (manual will be better in term of power)
2) bcoz of 1 fc becomes bad especially when u start and stop at traffic light
3) however bcoz of 1, the stability at high speed is super good and barely noticeable when the car is new. mine 3 year+ edi starting to have some sound.
4) multilink suspension, can corner nicely.
performance yes. fc not really significant to break even.
u think red zone will spoil the car? not really, coz it wont hit red.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


is time to change rims. ini kalilah.

Hehe thanks for the extensive and nice information.

Persona only got Standard model now. Hmm.. X ada pilihan!

By the way, hitting 0-110 kmph with 1-7k RPM really necessary? As to let the engine break in? Hmm

cold start 1.2 will drop till 900 at ideal temp.
caltex semi 10w40, fully 5w40. the only 2 i used before.
not sure about the noise delete.
some info say yes. some say dun.
i remember someone posted this :
http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

well, mine I can't do anything edi since old. if got new car, I will try and see.

i think this is the short one : The best method is to alternate between short bursts of hard acceleration and deceleration.
which I tried to understand what it means, i went to try with my car, not to break in my car lah. mine either way, had been done in easy break in.
but he do have good reasons. and he recommends to hard break in, after you do it, change the oil immediately. dun wait for the 1k service. which I still can see the reason behind it where i believe cavino had almost similiar reason to change the oil as frequent as possible.
*
Do it once or twice should be enough already right? Then change engine oil? Okie..

If I do city drive of about 100-150KM first, weekends only go highway break in, then at around 300KM change the engine oil? That's like, so soon. Haha
