Used to to pump esso or bhp, now only shell because i concluded that only shell can give the best mileage.. pump the rest definitely get about 20 - 40 km lesser..

can u give ur meter reader? laugh.gif

i always pumped esso/petron, on average 1 full tank is between 550km to 600km, usually i refuel before blink blink, so i rarely reach 600km, but based on the meter, it could reach 600km

My experiences on R3 springs formthenpast few days but with additional/ combination of mods.

Started with:
1. Strut bar- no difference at all, not noticeable to be accurate sad.gif

2. Rear anti-roll bar- less roll but still scary during fast corners smile.gif

3. 17" wheels with 215/50/17- totally changed the characteristic of the handling, more confidence rclxm9.gif

4. R3 springs- marginal improvement but ride is slightly harder, even wife felt it too. Lowered less than an inch but frequently scrapping parking rampsĀ  rclxub.gif

My 2 sen.

I have all the same mods as you except for the anti-roll bar.

Strut bar give me a more sold and confidence handling on the steering wheel because you can feel the front has become more rigid.

Agree on the slightly harder ride after the R3 springs but for me I've only encounter twice of scrapping the front. It actually just slightly give about 1 inch drop if I'm not mistaken and that can actually clear a lot high bumps and steep ramps. Been running on it for 20k kms so far and only twice i've encounter scrapping and that also because I didn't realize the steep ramp and went a lil too fast..

I'm looking for a C-segment point A to B car and balik kampung once a month maybe. Vios/City/Almera/Attrage are not in my list. RV is not really my concern.

Thinking of this car because got discount, decent accessories/features, plus with a Japanese drivetrain should be cheaper to maintain.

not cheap to maintain at all .. unless you are talking bout manual.. haha

Rm600++ ? for all?

where u service can change CVT oil? COSE?
my place cant change it.. no experience laugh.gif

RM652 using Fully synthetic oil (5L) used 4.3L...

I service at Sing Siang Hin Midah ... I'm not sure if they got experience doing CVT oil anot cause I haven done it.. what i plan to do is to do the CVT oil change outside when it hits 50k.. because in proton service schedule the CVT oil change is at 100k km with a disclaimer below saying that if severe usage, recommended to change at 40k km

Sani, COSE recommends cvt fluid change at 60k km or 3 years ,whichever earlier. They use Shell cvt fluids. Got that info last month. Dont know the price though

what does COSE stands for?
