Oil filter also can give more powah kah....I wan...

Oi....itu buaya car still going fine....you can see how durable is PE.

I not so knowledgeable on filter, so on safe bet, use back Proton 1, not oem. Hamp brand gua tau, amp not sure ler...I did not even read the original one, just buy straight from SC and change outside.

Got, priced at RM90K, can even make engine change to Honda one...oh wait, that is Honda's engine..

There are performance filter outside. Not sure how they got performance into there. However some are long life filters that did better than the original. Unfortunately I don't know which one is compatible to ours and really is long life, so safe bet, SC.

Oil filter even when bought from SC is not expensive, only RM12.22, original air filter, Rm16.71. So just change oil filter every 5K and air filter every 10K. Less than RM30, peace of mind and great performance boost (in terms of no reduction in performance ala those used for double the period).

Can't do that for cars like Honda city tho...ni a ma...air filter cost RM70....have to last 20K. Oil filter RM30, double of ours.....last same 5K.

Ooii....air filter need change at lastest 20K mileage. If not, your performance suffers (that translate to decrease power and increased FC gradually, so won't feel until you change new one)....not worth the saving of not changing.

Since air filter pricing is quite affordable, changing at 10K really ensure optimum performance (at least from air flow) at most time, you can feel the engine going strong at all times, not just when change every 20K. Usually at abt 15K, air flows suffers liao, even blowing won't help. By 20K, its dirty, performance already affected for quite some time.

Gua punya city filter always used compressed air blow coz too expensive to change every 10K.

Itu city tahan lasak wan coz everything I change on schedule, even 10K FS, I used only 5K change. I still need to save a bit a bit to go ayam farm buy chicken...

5K usage for 6 months lar.....both Civic and City also same, lower mileage, so can afford. After 6 months, my lube guidelines requires me to dump the lube to minimize oxidization acidic damages. Nowadays no money , so sometime drag till 7 months or so if mileage not reach.

Market got middle man....source farm, get cheaper and no need pay extra for middle man..

Aiyo, go check the schedule maintenance schedule on the 1st page lar...its mostly listed there

No need flush. 40K why need flush. The last time I change at 40K, sc used the same Proton ATF (gear oil) when changing my gear oil as well. Maybe a bottle or even less. I doubt they flush them, don't know can drain out or not.

It sure works coz my steering roboting whirling sound that have been bugging me since 30K disappeared after that.

Frankly, proton maintenance really quite affordable comparable with other brands, so I go SC buy to ensure original rather than spare part shop, mostly oem ones.

Cannot, nanti ayam got chicky, have to bela chicky pula. Bela ayam high cost. Go farm buy ayam, no string attached, makan sampai tulang buang....

Frankly, I missed that part but I might have some flashback of siphoning out.....no cost, just masuk extra atf lube inside. I think I opened abt 5 bottles in total (including gear oil change).

I also wonder abt that as well. I remember my ex-wira and iswara also change at every 10K mileage.

Your PE now use stock sport rim or those stock iron flower pot ?

With that budget, use back the NCT 5 tyres (sv using NCT 5?)

If budget constraint, IMO, the original stock alloy rim already looks ok and its heavy duty to boot. I myself did not change rim nor tyres. If want to change better tyres, RM180 is only enuf to but the stock NCT5.

Ya lor, I also got budget constraint, so instead of planning to get new Civic, I got no choice but to get an audi,,,,

Actually I quite like NCT5 although I bashed them as well. Before 50% worn, NCT5 perform quite well for avg driver. Grip quite ok in both wet and dry until the sipes hilang at 50%.

Been using NCT5 that come stock with City, Civic and now PE till worn out and change to other brand. Quite tahan lasak (being a hard compound tyre). So have many many years experience using NCT5.

Only after reaching 50% tread, the performance and grip turned DRASTICALLY downwards. That's when I bashed them hard.

That's why I say after 50%, tyre can throw away but b4 hitting 50%, (it takes quite a while to reach that level), its actually ok for avg driver. Perform way better than all those cheapo tyres (do note, its still listed as high performance tyres). Now I guna stock NCT5, 40%, still ok as long as I don't do hard cornering and high speed zig zag in wet.

Try first Michelin PP2 (tak da lagi), PS3 when 70%, V12 80%, then you tell me NCT5 noisy. Albeit all of the those tyres performed way better in wet and dry. Still they were all as noisy if not more.

When the tyres start to scream when cornering at round about, that usually signals its time to change the tyres unless it is still full treaded. That means you're cornering at too high speed at least for this tyre.

I still do cornering here and there (albeit not high speed but fast enuf), not single scream appear. Tyre grip is much lesser now but still within drivable limit with limited cornering at 40%. Once rain, that's another story.

Water fish....kena chop kau kau...

NCT5 ALWAYS below RM200.

Sime tyres cheapo ones but you get it at the price of Michelin PS3 (one of the most overprice brand around).

But then again, it depends on your location, come klang, cheap cheap, the further away, the more expensive. When emergency if ppl charge RM300 also you got no choice but to take.
