As per below:
Usually there's 3 things that causes the engine oil to be brownish color.

1) Water jacket busted, usually no sign of over heating until too much water leaked either into the oil sump or out of engine block
2) Head gasket fried. Every single day u experience hard to kickstart. Lots of white smoke from ekzos paip, radiator coolant become white color fluid
3) Sped through water puddle, intake sucked in tremendous of water, being channeled into engine oil. Usually can cause hydrolock

For your information only, base on past experience. May not always be the case. Should monitor closely by cross checking your radiator coolant & engine oil often from now on. Don't drag until engine locked... then u probably wanna think whether wanna chop the car & sell sparepart or pay a bomb for engine swap, worst to spend a bomb & precious time to overhaul it doh.gif
*
i dont think no 1 n 2.
radiator fluid seems to be fine and
no hard to kickstart or white smoke

So ill monitor for no 3.

sorry guys may i ask where good place service proton AMT savvy? i use it six year but find proton authorised centre in cheras (near connaught) damn lousy but nearest so i go there.

anywhere nearby and reliable? thx
*
Renautech - Subang USJ 1 - renault specialist (but a bit expensive, far more reliable and cheap compared to proton SC)

Dell Cunn Auto (Osman Baba) - price wise, should be cheaper than Renautech, but never really been there
No.20, Lorong Permai 1C/KS09, Taman Pendamaran Permai, 42000 Pelabuhan Klang Selangor Darul Ehsan.
GPS
N 02'.59.075
E101'.24.822'

Flyways (Melaka) - u can see their package for service

what belt can use till 100k bro?

better change at 80k la.. those guarantee for a mere rm350 belt doesnt sound reasonable to me..

you drive 80k, you let the engine running without drive how long? so to be exact, something 80k drive, 20k let it running idle..

my car previous owner change at 100k.. i change it at 60k.. better rm350 then rm2000.. for a mere 3 year, rm350 is not much..

*your case can be lesson to others.

davidke20 yesterday i went to nestum place to change shoe for my other car.. wow.. such a nice guy.. planning to go again for sawie shoes pulak.. might grab 165/65/14 archilles to try or yoko blue..

yup let that be a lesson for me and others.

Thats really surprising. I had heard some great reviews for the work shop. Were you finally able to get your car serviced.
How was the service. How much time did they take.
any feedback on the type of workmanship.
*
i called one of the mechanic to ask whether they are open or not. said open.
so went to the workshop, waited 30 minutes and still not open, i left.
