Hi, planning to purchase a Preve, but does anyone have experience on manual transmission? fuel consumption?

10000KM service interval is applicable for any engine oil, from mineral to fully synthetic.

Glad to hear that. Well, I guess all these while I've been reading a lot of inaccurate info on this.

Viking PT5? RM235/pcs 205/55/16 including balancing...

Subsidiary of Continental...

Not really inaccurate. The quality of the oil now is undeniably better than the past twenty years.
Semi-synthetic oil can go as far as 10k km, but common practice in the industry is to change them every 5k km. It is 'recommended' by most workshops and service centers who want nothing more than you to unnecessarily buy more engine oil before you actually should.

Is Viking really good? Indonesian?

Are you sure about that? Mineral oil is usually used for a service interval of 5,000-6,000km for any cars.

Proton used to permit users to use the lowest grade of engine oil for the Preve Turbo, which is the semi-synthetic Synthium 800 sometime in 2013. In early 2014, they do not recommend Synthium 800 for the Preve Turbo anymore, stating that after a research they found that Synthium 800 is not too suitable for the Preve Turbo's engine. Hence they now recommend the full-synthetic Synthium 1000 as a minimum for the Preve Turbo for a service interval of 10,000km.

If so, i think i kena con by SC dy.
I asked for fully syn EO for my first service months ago, they put in syn800 (Claiming it is full syn) and charge me more.
Last 2 weeks i insist i want syn 1k only they do that for me.

May i ask which type and cost of EO of most CFE owner are using?

thanks.

My 30,000km service costs me RM502 and after making numerous inquiries and follow-up with the Customer Service on this matter since last month and until today they have not given me a satisfactory answer on this matter.

For the Preve Turbo, from what I was told the Synthium 1000 is minimum standard, and the Synthium 3000 and 5000 are optional at a higher cost.

when i did my first 1k service at sc mutiara damansara, they told me proton engineer confirmed free mach 5 EO can go 10k! my first and last visit to that sc

Hmmph..
My SC follow up also slow, they charge me labour even-though it's my second service at 10k.
I main chillax with the SA cause he is friendly so i gave him some time to settle this for me (3weeks already, still waiting). lol

First service i asked for fully syn, they pour in syn800 and told me is full syn.
Second service i requested for only syn1000. they charge me rm200.

As far as i know, my bro korean car at 1.6 also, they pour in syn5000 for their free service.
I would want a better EO for my usage. Syn3000 is it sufficient? 70%city30%highways.

~14km/l....

Local malaysia made I think...70 years history in norway. Lol. might give a try

but manual book say mach 5 also can be use for CFE engine. hmmm. any memo from Proton regarding this, last time i know usage of engine oil additive(X1R) cause the Turbo problem.

Viking=Sime tyres ?

So how's the dry and wet grip? Noise?

For my case, the rattling sound came from the driver side dashboard, between the aircond vent and the meter panel. When I used my finger to press it slowly, the sound is gone. Happened during hard acceleration n more prominent under hot weather. Went to SC n requested to put some paddings on that area, less rattle happening now. Fingers crossed that it won't come back.

I got clicking sound too but from the driver door upper trim when maintaining speed of 130-140++kph. I lightly pressed my hand there to verify that sound was from there. The sound came sometimes so I just ignored it. Reported to SC but was told nth can be done.

i got rattling sound coming from the left rear passenger side, is that common? but its on and off la. rattling sound will be more obvious when i make sharp turn.

no sound when someone is sitting on it.

Same with my preve. The sound quite loud. Very annoying.
