maybe you using shell engine oil since you said after 1000km service have such sound?

i using Petronas 3000 when 1000km service + shell 95 all the while...

I guess Proton service centres only use Petronas engine oil? Anyway the vehicle was on Petronas Syntium 800 during the 1,000km service and Petronas Primax RON95 all the while just until recently I switched to the 1st tank of Caltex.

I wonder why you were given Petronas Synthium 3000 whilst I was given Synthium 800 during the 1,000km service.

To Preve Turbo owners, may I ask what engine oil was given to you on the first 1,000km service?

Thanks.

How sure n mind to share were ur solid source from? Thx

I asked for Syntium 3000. I think most SC will provide a default Petronas type if no instruction given.

The SC showed me following Syntium range.

1. Syntium 3000 (5W-40)
2. Syntium 1000 (15W-50)
3. Syntium 800 (15W-50)

Anyone know what is the diff between 1000 & 800. Price almost double.

You have to pay more also for Syntium 3000.

Ohh now i remember, the SC also put in XR1 Petrol Treatment. Did not ask for this but it was not very expensive (RM28) so tak apa lah.

Also the knocking, is the sound similar to shaking a spray can with the ball inside?

It is from MAA (Malaysia Automotive Association)..it is EXPECTED (they sound is like confirmed though) that the government will revise the NAP and will benefit local industry players (P1 and P2 of coz)~~

anyway the news however kept it silent and only mention that Najib will announce the new revision this coming budget~~perhaps related to his funny "Janji Dicapatikan"

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.

The Service Advisor that attended to me didn't advise on the engine oil options available, and I guess Synthium 800 was provided as default.

I noticed Synthium 800 is not full synthetic on the website. Is it supposed to last 10,000km?

Any Preve Turbo owners here who were given or had chosen the Synthium 800 during the 1st 1,000km service?

Yes, the knocking sound is quite similar to shaking a spray can with a metal ball inside. It's like accelerating a vehicle with manual transmission in the wrong gear, say the 4th gear, when the right gear to use is 2nd gear or 3rd gear.

Yes, it is alarm system...

this is proton sc offered to me during 1st 1000km service...
But i took the fully syn for 10k km intervals...


Attached thumbnail(s)

Syntium 800 is semi synthetic, Syntium 1000 and 3000 is fully synthetic. 1000 has very high viscosity rating, so if you wanna take fully syn, avoid the 1000 and take the 3000.

Proton has recently adopted 10k km OCI for semi syn, so its up to you whether you wanna take semi syn or pay double for fully syn. Personally I will take fully syn.

I just took syn800 becoz dont want to waste free service

And recently i bought mitsu full syn bought from a fren at rm95. I oso stock up another 4L that i bought from aeon jusco rm95 for my next service

Proton/petronas EO can go saupei coz sexpensive

some SC does carry Shell Engine Oil too...

Most of SC doesn't carry Petronas 3000, so I purchase Petronas 3000 from Petronas petrol station by myself and i bring it to SC during the 1000km service... Petronas 800 is semi syn but you can choose Petronas 1000 which is full syn as most of SC do carry it too...

Can bawa Mitsu EO to Proton SC??

Syntium 1000 is 15w-50, which is too high for modern new engines.

Between Syntium 1000 fully-syn 15w-50 and 800 semi-syn 10w-40, I'd pick the 800 semi syn but change at 5k km.

If between Syntium 800 and fully syn 3000, I'd take the 3000.

why take Petronas 1000/3000 will waist the free service?
if use full syc, the third free service are 20k km. so are you means free service are not applicable after 15k km? i think it subjective to SC...

agreed, between 1000 and 3000... the price different about RM20+ only...
3000 may contribute better FC as lower viscosity rating... so no harm to go for it...

But i still will change my engine oil every 5000km even though using Fully Syn as the air volume sucked by turbo engine will be higher compare to non-turbo engine, so the oil filter never able to last till 8k-10k km and it may clog anytime...

Hence, personally think that Semi Syn may not suitable for hot turbo engine especially those drive always high speed and high rev...

can i have the contact? Thanks.

Yes i could

Becoz my free service comes with EO everything until 50k km. They give me syn800 oni. Right after tht i use mitsu full syn lor.. Service in proton SC to maintain my warranty

mind to share which SC has got syntium 3000? opt for that for my coming 20k km service :>
