Proton Saga BLM Manual

Can I use this engine oil?

Yes, you can. You should also refer to your owner's manual for other engine oil viscosities you can use.

Does anyone know what is the recommended full synthetic oil viscosity for Nissan Latio, to achieve best FC?
*
I was mistaken, you have a Latio, I don't think it is meant to run 0w-20 engine oil. Anyway, try finding 5w-30 or 10w-30, they should help with fuel economy.

Thanks shifus for the reply, I don't mind too up abit if there's a clearly difference compare to my current engine oil. Roughly how much eh and which brand is good and fulfilled my requirement ? 👏🏻👏🏻😀
*
Like Chemistry said, Perodua's 10w30 or 5w30 meet your requirements. If you want to try something else, use Eneos, Honda engine oils or Bosch engine oils. If you searched hard enough, you may find these brands in semi-synthetic bottles for less than RM100, at spare part stores or online. smile.gif

What is this shop back thing?
*
It's a cash back programme. You register, login and visit lazada or Tesco shopping through shopback and you get cash back.

4%-10% don't seem like much, but it's better than nothing.

@kento totachi is made in Japan.

visited the Bosch warehouse sale going on this weekend at The School Jaya One, and some of their EO was on sale:

1. 5W40 X7 Fully Synthetic - RM99
2. 10W40 and 10W30 X6 Semi Synthetic - RM60
3. 20W50 Mineral - RM40

oil filters for Asian cars were going for about RM5 each, along with some other stuffs which are mostly replacement parts, not performance parts, and mostly for Asian cars.
*
Is it worth coming? Are items like spark plugs and air filters cheaper than usual?

One fb user posted that lots of items have limited quantity despite coming early.

Sifu sifu sekalian,
I am currently using normal oil caltex 15W-40 on Hyundai Accent Year 2006 and experience some oil loss and also rough engine noise when pick up. Before using this oil, this car was using 10W-50 oil (forgotten the brand) and also experience a lot of oil loss too. Before and After servicing, there is no oil leak or anything.

May I know what could be the problem and what would you guys recommend for my next oil change?
Thank you! biggrin.gif

For your next oil change, try using the same engine oil along with the Bardahl B2 additive like alphaz suggested or another oil burn additive. Try that first.

Also, check this video as well.

Happy new year

Previous gen Proton Persona 2008 bro

Just flushed atf oil and put fully synthetic AMS OIL RM70 per Litre  rclxub.gif

Total put 6 litres, so really burn my pocket already.

Next service better buy online

AMSOIL atf! You must be an enthusiast rclxms.gif

Anyway, try finding the original Proton SPIII, or Mitsubishi DiaQueen SPIII. Otherwise, try to find a multi-vehicle ATF with SPIII specification on it like Idemitsu ATF. The ones I noted for you are around RM100 for 4litres, but still way better than RM70 a litre right? brows.gif

I'm not lol. Because just bought the Persona (second-hand car). And upon inspection the ATF oil is dirty as hell. So wanted to take the best for first service. But at least now I feel better knowing money is well spent?hahaha

The proton SP III is cheap but not synthetic right?

How bout this?

http://www.lazada.com.my/pennzoil-multi-ve...l-14163881.html

Is this ok for my Persona?
*
I could be wrong but I wouldn't use it since it doesn't spec SPIII or SP3.

Is there a different from Mitsubishi DiaQueen SPIII and Mitsubishi SPIII Extreme (Thailand)? In term of quality?

Btw, my workshop also recommend Idemitsu ATF, but it seems no label for SPIII.
*
Well, idemitsu atf does spec SPIII, check this link: http://www.idemitsu-ils.com.sg/UploadedImg...mitsu%20ATF.pdf

The Mitsu 10w30 is mineral, I've seen the bottle before at AEON. The Mits 5w30 is semi.
Between the 4, I'd pick the Nissan bottle... or maybe the Sukimi 10w30 or Bosch 10w30 on lazada. But it's your call smile.gif

where can buy perodua green 0w20? last time i went their SC want to buy engine oil (to test their 5w30 semi-synthetic), but they require a Perodua car number plate and mileage in order to proceed, end up getting a friend's myvi number plate.. so much hassle.
maybe to buy the 0w20, i will need a bezza or axia number plate...

Did you check the engine oil out on Lazada? Or try finding near your local sparepart stores or workshops, they should have it for around RM100.

I suggest you keep using the Perodua oil, either 10w-30 or 5w-30. You don't need to change your viscosity grade.

Hi, i am using honda SN 10w-30 mineral oil for honda city 2014, would it be better to use 0w-20 to the engine? mainly for city driving

SC recommends to use 10w-30 as my mileage is low, 30k for 2.5 years, 6 month only drive 6,000km. Thanks!
*
Better in terms of what? Protection or FC?

Anyway, both oils do well protecting your vtec, use the 0w-20 if you want to save more fuel.

You can extend your service interval to 10k km/6-months if you drive normally or follow the sticker interval at 5k km if you do lots of city driving..

Hi guys .

I am buying it because the price is cheaper .but not sure  does it suitable are not @@

No, you shouldn't be using it. Perodua's own oils are cheap already, may I know what brand of 15w-40 are you looking at?

Ah I see. Same here, except for hard to get cosmetic replacements I've always sent it to the same outside mechanic since warranty ended. Thing is, he's getting sloppy the last few times I sent for maintenance and making me think of other things that may have gone wrong that I don't know about. Hence the thought of sending back to SC for a good engine look over and fix. Currently using ENEOS fully syn oil. Fishing if there's a better one. For yours, could you specify which particular bottle/brand? Thanks
*
I am pretty sure he is talking about the golden-red Honda 0w-30 bottle.

I was tempted to try it until I saw their reply regarding the oil being made out of Group II stock. dry.gif

Shouldn't Group III oil and above be considered full synthetics and 100% synthetic?
