Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

Juz4discussion sake...

Practically most EOs are now "Multigrade" EOs...
These are supposedly thinner when cold & thicker when hot?
So theoretically, the oil shld get 2vital bearings easier when cold & provide protection needed when hot...

Note : In abv statements, pls note words like "supposedly", "theoretically"...?

So in Reality, one needs 2try out the EO grades suitable & pick one which complies with one's car model, driving style &/or conditions when/where it is used...

Finally, the onus falls back on2 the user/owner...paymaster, too? icon_rolleyes.gif

I don't trust them.

I'd rather get the official info from proton whistling.gif

Besides, the campro is done by proton, not shell whistling.gif

Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

Official info fr Proton?
Wat is that? Is there one fixed Official info fr Proton?

The main "headache" now is that Proton has exhibited NO consistency in the info in its own User Manuals... rclxub.gif

From 2008 - almost end of 2011, for BLMs & early FLs....EO grade was recommended as SAE 20W50...
Late 2011 on, for later FLs & new FLXs...the "Book" comes with an amendment ie it became 10W30...IINM...a forummer that time posted an image of an xtra pc of paper with the correction...?

Since early 2011, most (if not all) SCs use 10W40 EOs....

How can this be? sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Is there any pro and cons on this stiff rings? Will end up like that myvi? I don't really get it.
Ya it does isolate free space movement on the front mounted cross member. Some cars can install front and rear.

So is it good to have or not good?  rclxub.gif
I tak ada anti any bars la. UR not yet install nia  laugh.gif
So far to me it helps. Cornering is much better. Less body flex.
Also my car use to rattle like whole dashboard going to pop out when going over speed breakers.

Now totally reduced a lot and more comfy now. No more dashboard gonna break soon kind of thing.

Once try, hari hari mau mia.
Mine doesn't leh...how? LOL!
Let's shake hands.... rclxm9.gif
No la not about that. Is about Vios TRD having Bigger Brake Disc and comes with Stiffer Suspensions than normal Vios J, E and G spec. Hehe!

Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

Me must hv been earliest dai lan ngong in here...
Had those rings installed in my FL a couple yrs ago liao... rolleyes.gif

Our Gagas are technically built up with much finer tolerances (it appears...) than others in its class..
Why is that?
Cos we need only such rings 4front subframe nia!!
Back not need like Maivee & co.,....not enuf space/gap 2manufacture a fit... rclxm9.gif

My conclusion..then & now?
Worth that small 1-time investment!
Bars... each cost more than that cheers.gif

Only diff is one can see the Bars but these rings work "invisibly"... icon_rolleyes.gif

Just had it installed today morning.

At first I drive in my car with still some hesitation regarding such product. The moment i reverse out and make my first left turn, all my doubts are completely erased.

the steering feel is improved and passing through those speed breakers doesn't make the car rattles violently anymore.
