ohh.. then maybe PS3 is for those who prefer more performance, but sacrifice abit noise, u cant have best of both world, i can say for 3ST is an all rounder, good performance, good comfort, but cannot be the best.

Mileage 35k, good time to change tyres? I swapped front and back at 20k

hmmm....My ODO at 38k, but the tyres seem good...plan to changer after 50+k

look at the wear and the age. 4-5yrs is time to change the tyre, becos brittle already, risk of explosion becos the rubber no more elasticity. If botak already, sure change lo, really big difference, botak tyre easy skid.. wat traction control, VSC also cannot save u from skidding if ur tyre is botak.

Still waiting for bank to call me interview and get the interest rate, kind of afraid the car will not arrive before raya.. haih

Like to have some feedback from those using Mach 5 or Synthium 800 for Preve turbo.

Why?

I am thinking of changing from Synthium 1000 to either Mach 5 or Synthium 800. Main reason is, my car mileage and speed are rather low. Only 10,800 km after 10 months and my highest speed is only 90 kph. Average speed is only 25 kph.

Thanks.

Re. Synthium 800 vs 1000. I don't know about others but in my case, for the Preve Turbo I feel the car actually performs better with Synthium 800 than in Synthium 1000.

I have used Synthium 800 for the 1,000km, 10,000km and 20,000km services. For the 30,000km service, some of you might have known - the Proton service advisor had taken me for a ride, giving me the Synthium 1000. (He mentioned the Synthium 800 cannot be used on the Preve which after clarification with the customer service I was informed this is not true as Synthium 800 can still be used on the Preve Turbo). I don't know if it's due to the engine oil or something else, but with the Synthium 1000, now the noise from the CVT/engine during acceleration is louder. Acceleration appears to be a slightly draggy. The differences are not exactly huge but the noise from the CVT and/or engine certainly is louder than before.

I will definitely switch to Synthium 800 during the 40,000km service not only because it is cheaper, but it works equally well if not better.

I am not sure about the experience from others though but in my view the Synthium 800 is better than the 1000 for the Preve Turbo.

Noted and thanks.

In my 2nd service, did not feel any difference with Synthium 1000 (my 2nd time using this).

Don't want to waste money in not using something to its full potential with my lower mileage and speed. I think my used Synhium can still be used for another few thousand km but have to change due to the warranty. Ha.

Cheerio.

Wait till you hear mine.... 13L/100km, EXEC model...

i have tried all types of engine oils on my previous cars and preve...from mineral to semi then fully synthetic...

But nothing beats [ANY] engine oil + Tufoil engine treatment, the engine just run smoother and quieter~~~and they are still the Guinness record holder for being the most slippery substance known to man....

now for my Preve i am using Syntium 800 + 4 oz of Tufoil and i feel noticeable difference


Well im not a salesman...just sharing...please find below the website

im also using exec, mine around 10.1L/100km. my route everday jam from damansara perdana to taman bahagia

10.1L/100km on jam road is pretty good i must say, unless thats the reading u got from odometer, u pretty much need to add another 2 - 3L to it

Syntium 1000 has got higher viscosity than 800..my own experiece is that the engine feels 'heavier' to rev with 1000

Yea, same thing happen to me. With 15W50 in syn 1000, compare to symtium 800 5W30, syn 1k is just too thick and heavy. I dont like that feel.

Guys , can share proton salesman around johor? Wanna ask about latest promo on preve

Decided to change to Neuton NT8000 after testing it on my friend's Suprima and good reviews on the web

Yes, don't need to waste money. In my case, by accidentally taking the Synthium 1000 due to the service adviser's unscrupulous action(I asked the branch manager to warn this fellow) my car's performance did not improve with the costlier engine oil but deteriorated instead. Anyway it is good that I have tried the Synthium 1000 at least once, otherwise I would not have known. After this experience, there is no way I am going to opt for the 1000 anymore.

There is still about 5500km before the next service and I can't wait to get back to the cheaper Synthium 800 for better performance.

Okay thanks for the information on the Tufoil engine treatment. Will keep this in mind and look it up later.
