proton oil filters are around rm10 for single piece/SC/part center glenmarie pricing

if you buy in bulk like a row of 12 (iinm) and from outside official stockists, they can go as low as rm7-9 per piece.

6 seems a bit on the low side especially if it is single piece, maybe you can check it again by lifting the car and inspecting the oil filter.
Iswara oil filters are still using the bigger sized type will all the proton logo/part number (starts with PW then numbers) printed on it clearly.

a bit too cheap for original.

I use K&N oil filter about RM 50 each from speedwork... there is 2 models, 1 model you will need to change on the next oil change and the other is re-usable (can clean), been using it for sometime now.

Prior to using K&N, I was using Bosch. easily can get from any Bosch shop for about 10 bucks.

Hi,

Yes, I would have to say so! The original horn was faulty and the replacement horn is now sitting on the RH behind the front bumper.

oh my horn already aftermarket so i think my connectors were modified

wow, looks like Albert knows his car well. Seems like he diy repair his car more often than sending it to mechanics. haha

i mainly send to mechanics only

but yea having the service manual can get you very far

Just went to parts centre at glenmarie yesterday. Iswara oil filter sell there is more bigger than i fitted in my engine. I inspect the my filter and dont seem any oil leaks.

but oil filter is rm12

how much was yoursS ??

You sure you send your car to mech mostly? hehe

Guys, what if iswara install 195/50/15 tires with 7jj wheels, will it sagat/ hit rear fender when i lowered my ride?
It seems there are more 7jj rims for 15" than 6.5jj rims and not much choices for pcd 114.3.

Plan to lower my ride with stock abs mate with apm performax lowered sport spring and install 15" rims.

yes i do... thankfully most of my mechs/workshops etc are good friends and they don't outright chop me.
in return i always go back to them for business

personally wouldn't recommend 15" for saga iswara unless you fender roll and/or serious on motorsports.
sticking to stock 13/14" is way more economical in every sense.

also would advise against lowering rides unless you're damn sure on what you're doing
too much troubles/cons over benefit.

if you're into looks, by all means go ahead but bear in mind, looks != practical.
and personally i'm more of a practical person.

For the lowered spring part, i'm still doubting to install it as the crossmember is already quite low. I scrape it few times already and it really breaks my heart. so might as well not installing it.

As for the wheels part, i opt for the 15" as there are more tires choices over 14". My rear tires reaching 55% of botakness while the front still got 70%. There are 2 tires that in my mind currently which are C.Drive 2, Ventus v2 Concept 2 and parada spec 2.

What's your review on C. Drive 2 that your iswara currently wearing?

that's why best not to lower the car.

and c drive 2 is available for 14"
14" is more than enough for tire choices especially if you're not intending on driving fast/motorsports.
in fact most of the eco based LRR (low rolling resistance) tires are on 13-16" only.

love c drive 2 in pretty much every aspect, only downside is probably the higher than average pricing.

im using 15". tyres are 195/50/r15

would against anyone who frequently ferry people at the back seat as it will touch the fenders when there's uneven or bumpy road unless put coil spring buffer.

if you're always driving alone, then it's ok.

Was on 15x7 recently (with about 1/4 in. spacer, not exactly sure thickness of spacer). Used it for about 1 month before got sick of all the scraping here and there. Traded in the rims and tyres for 13" original rims and tyres.

Just rm6 per piece.

Wow, you are so brave by installing 7jj wheels and installed spacer. Bet you are using 8 hole rims. Hehe. My initial idea was lower it and install 6.5jj 4 hole rims. But since quaza ady mention practicality, so I ditch the lowering part and might move on with installing 15" wheels.

if you're not into performance, save yourself the headache/cost on 15" (rims also la) la lol.
