Lax bro, like i said I'm here to seek advice and learn not stir up trouble, i recall forumers(in last year post) advising to use semi-syntetic, due to the oil thickness etc as it could help lessen wear & tear, as he states campro engine is a little bit diff from jap engines.(he might be wrong?but i guess each has his own point of view)
So posted the engine oil intented to use here and seek reviews
Cheers wink.gif

this is an open forum. people can advise whatever they want.... only up to you to accept or not.

FS and SS got nothing to do with the oil thickness (or viscosity). However FS proven to withstand much higher stress, heat and shear forces compared to SS and Mineral is the lowest.

Maybe those forummer mean old proton engines, need those dense 20W-50 oils which usually come in Mineral due to wear and tear. thus the piston rings etc have more gap, so better to use denser oils.

I guess even if you change it wont solve the problem.
THis is because it is from the same supplier.
UNless they change the design or supplier. If not, when the dust collects back again, then it will still got tak tak tak sound.
This is why garybenjamin said P1 suggest us  whistling.gif  to have air gun at home so that we can DIY remove drum brake and blow the dust away. Then approx. 10k later, you will reppeat the same step again.
*
The problem with the OEM drum brake assembly is defective design.

after you claim it under warranty, the problem is normally solved, if they try to repair it.... they are merely grinding the brake shoe. This will not solve the problem. Not the dust. After you change it, it must be a non defective drum brake.

touch wood, mine has got no sound after they changed it.

That is my point.
How u noe it is not the same supplier ? As far as i noe it is still the same although this issue has been complained by so many ppl.

How u noe it is not the same design ? This 1 i dono. If there is a new design that will not produce tak tak music then pls let me know, i want go n change oso.

Otherwise if it is the same design n supplier then u will get the tak tak music no matter what. Just a matter of time.
*
I may not know if the design is the same or not, but after they replace the drum brake assembly... the sound is gone till now.

Update :
Juz2share...

Me DIY "flushed" & replaced cooling system coolant of my White Knight y'day...
Decided no harm (after lotsa Googling) 2use previously bought Petronas Long Life Coolant (Pic #1).
It's actually new tech coolant w/o all those silicates, etc...pls see Pic #2.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Followed user manual recommendation of 25-35% conc of coolant 4efficient application in our gagas...
So used 1.75L of coolant in our 5L cooling sys capacity ie 1.5L in rad & eng plus 0.25L in reservoir.

Word of caution when DIY:
Ensure NO air lock b4 calling it a day...

Best wishes... cheers.gif

the drain plug easy to find? if yes, nothing wrong to DIY.

Tips : Used Distilled water instead of the normal tap water to mix with the coolant.

Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

Drain plug (white plastic) is @ LHS (facing front of the car) of radiator bottom tank... tongue.gif

Yup, best is 2use distilled water...or like me RO Water (2nd best lo...)  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
Yea. Tap water is full of sediments and other gunk like rust, minerals....

Distilled water is pure and devoid of such gunk. Mixed with the concentrated coolant, and you are set to go.

I prefer Toyota Long Life coolant... very good coolant!

From Kelisa and Viva to Saga....prepare for higher fuel consumption.

As for basic mods - armrest, auto brakelock, cabin filter, grounding cable, better tires.

Who is selling this now? Samwho?

I want to get it.... can the seller contact me?

Also for the Mods, consider strut bars. I have those, Orange Snake GC and better tires already! rclxms.gif

Anything but the stock silverstones. Falken ze912, Michelin XM2, Yokohama C-drive 2, Neuton NT8000, Kumho KU37 etc. etc. etc.

If you prefer more comfort you can opt for higher profile tires 195/55/15 (stock is 195/50/15).
*
Yeah considering upgrading my Tyre rims to 15" too.... if I go that way, I might get the Volk Racing rims and Falken 322s (to keep cost low, might have to settle for the 322s first... bo pian!)

I am no drifter, so no need more Ex Michelins or Yokos....

What is the width you going for?nhow much are the 322s?
*
now I am contemplating on either 195/50-15 / 195/55-15.

how much? i think they are quoting me something like all in (not including the rims) Rm175 per piece. balancing, valve and alignment foc if i buy the rims as well... havent made up my mind. the 322 are made in Indonesia and I prefer only Thailand or Malaysian made Tyres....

may go for a local made Sime Tyre. Astar 100? around the same price.

isn't 912 much cheaper than 322 ?
but heard that both 912 and cdrive2 service life (cannot last long) equally bad.
*
nope. 912 is considered a little premium compared to 322. and 912 is asymetrically designed. It is also made in Thailand, where as 322 is made in Indonesia.

the 912 for 195/55-15 is around 190 or 200 per piece. I think....
