Well, it's not a big problem, but i'll mentioned it during 1st service. Make em change my bolt!! I wonder if this is cover under anti-rust warranty?

My Myvi also got some rust at door hinge...going to fix to complain that to P2 SC as well.

Added on August 29, 2007, 9:10 amGonna go for 1st service soon.

I'm thinking of using synthetic oil straight away....or should i start with semi first? How much is Ploton charging for full-synth oil? I'm thinking to buy my own oil and take there.

Any savvy owners here using full-synth??

Go for ELF full Sysntetic !!

opps it's 7th month..you can try to ask the SC first if they allow outside oil to be used...I'm now on AMSOIL fully synthetic 10W/30, already done 2km on this oil, didn't turn black although I'd used Mach 5 for 40 000km already..engine's still clean or flushing oil already had flushed out the dirt already.

You can mail-order from this guy for relatively unknown but established oil brands.
http://www.myoilstore.com

Caltex and Elf are too common, sold by spare part shops, probability of getting fake or repacked oil is there.

When using this oil, first cold start in the morning will shows the RPM increase to 1500 a while then before stabilize to 1200 for the auto choke function which is normal before go down to warmed up engine's rpm's 800. Shows that there's less friction after using this FS oil. My highest RPM when cold start is 1200 when using Mach 5.

Any comments on CONOCO oil? My first service will be soon as well.

wahlau conoco oil meh~~ my workshop got selling woh ~ haha~~
Hey go to Amway warehouse to order the ELF fully syntectic sorry Amway member here~just tell you what i know.

The Conoco fully syntetic sell at 168bucks for 4L here woh~ made in USA

Called my SA today and asked him whether can bring my own oil to use. He says "can", but advise to talk to the SC advisor when i'm there. AFAIK, the manual only says must meet the 10W/30 SJ standard or void warranty. As long my oil can meet this standard, should be ok right?

But i'm wondering if they'll blame...next time if ignition coil rosak also blame my own oil......hmmm...it's much cheaper to get full synth oil outside than Plotong...

Added on August 29, 2007, 5:44 pmYou mean 2000km or 2km???

Now you pscyhe me into getting the AMSOIL...the petronas oil seems too thick and doesn't have 10W/30 for full synth (only 10W/40)....or maybe i go ENEOS shopping...but if SC reject my oil, then i would have waste $$$..

You can always keep it untill your 10K KM service. Do you all still go so SC for service once after 10K KM?

Any good place to suggest for my first service? Im staying in Subang and my house is very near to Proton in Taman Perindustrian wondering any of you guys went there for service before? My SA told me to go there for service

Auto-choke?! That's for carburetor engine.

thanks.

from the site, it said the problem from ignition coil? well, there's no power loss at all.
anyway, the speedometer seems fine till today.

How much is the ELF full synth? 10W/30??

Added on August 29, 2007, 8:29 pmYep, at least for first 2 years...after that if not much problem, then just go outside. If u don't go back SC, anything major you can't claim...

Elf Molygraphite 10W30 Engine Oil (3 litres) =52.50
Elf Molygraphite 15W50 5L =92.00
ELF SYNTHETIC PRO 10W50 =153.00

Thats the price, cheap right ?

but the full synth 10W-50 is too thick ler. Good for bigger CC engine, but i don't think cars below 1.3cc is suitable.

Anyway, i think there's 10W-30 for Synthium 800 also, maybe i just use this for 1st service and see how it goes.

EFIs use mechanism called idle control valve or similar.

hehe yes thought it was the same - same concept what to choke the air to enrich air-fuel mixture. I took out the throttle body, saw the butterfly valve gap which is pretty small already. After I put back the TB and start the engine (forgot to connect the connector), the small gap throttled the engine at constant 2000 rpm..means that if it's connected to the ECU at idling, the gap would be significantly smaller than a dead throttle body valve gap which is already small.

Latest FC update:

Last tank of V-POWER gives me 14.58km/l. Not too bad, considering only 2nd tank and not even 1st service yet. Today pumped BHP.....i wonder if it'll gives the same mileage as V-POWER?

Well, i hope i can hit 16km/l after 1st service...

City drive? Shoud be ok cos I get around that mileage for city drive stop and go traffic in Melaka..Using petronas since day 1 - now only start to use other petrol like BHP...definitely they are not from the same type of fuel - smell from fresh petrol and exhaust are totally different.

Posting from coffee beans in PJ...had a crazy weekend hehe--saw a lot of cars stalled along side Putrajaya during merdeka eve..then went up genting, then tonite got to see fireworks again hehe.

Happy merdeka - love Malaysia.

Just visited "Next Level Custom" in sunway just now after my class i enquire about the price for installation of body kit! haha...Guess what he quoted me RM1K+ just only for installation + paint. Without bodykit yet! haha...

Phew~Cut throath...Any place to suggest guys?
