Mine is oil drain screw hole loose already. Can't do anything except seal it up. Until now also still using it due to economy reason. So i think it's ok one...

Think the key message is don't get fake oil.

But if you insist a brand recommendation, you can consider these, which I have personally used:
a) Magnetec (I find it don't play nice with Liqui Moly MoS2 additive, white flake tend to form)
b) Shell semi, blue bottle one (quite sound, but a lot of fakes. Better get from trusted garage or petrol station)
c) Idemitsu works fine for me currently, blended with LM MoS2 additive.

The key point is don't use fake oil, don't overfill (I keep the level middle of max and min oil indicator), and change it every 5,000 km (this is personal preference. I tend to stick to manufacturers recommendation)

Reference: Clocking of 310,000km plus on my 2011 Persona Elegance.

This one, is my idol. Lol

Err.. I don't really have anything that's systematically arranged.

So far all my cryptic issues are electronics problem:

-Check Engine Light with knock sensor voltage too low probably due to I tried heel-toe downshiftbon my car.. Once i drive like an Ah Pek then the code won't come back, after clear error code.

-If your oxygen sensor failed: You go to spare part shop they'll give you black color Gen2 O2 sensor. That's not the right one. Insist O2 sensor with green cable. Otherwise you going to be like me who bought 3 black O2 sensor until I gave up and send my car back to Proton Edar.

-Most of the unexplained electronics problem occurs when car battery about to die. If you got strange problem that your wireman cannot diagnose, at the same time battery due to be changed already, you can always try new battery when all method exhausted.

Engine bay there basically nothing much. Just make sure you maintain according to schedule lo... Use distilled water for coolant mix, use original timing belt assembly (zordaq keep on highlight this in their FB page), change water pump at alternate timing belt change, solve crankcase cover gasket oil leak by replacing the gasket with silicone punya, etc etc.

Getting a OBD2 Bluetooth reader is a good investment. I got one Scantool.net bluetooth version in my drive so that I know what's the CEL for..

I'm using this:
https://www.scantool.net/obdlink-lxbt/

You'll need app in your phone to link to your ECU.

The port is behind of your engine bonnet open switch.

Nope. Just plug, pair Bluetooth with your phone, then launch app. This brand got auto sleep function. So you can leave it in car.

If you're hesitating you always can buy the cheap one from eBay to try out first. Last time i bought 3, only 1 worked, but the the one worked spoiled in 2 weeks also. 1.99 usd each only.

I'm using KYB excel G. Nothing special. Just OEM replacement.

By right it should have no issue using that. The only thing the proton edar told me is don't plug in too hard, otherwise the obd port will get loosen overtime, making future connection with their OBD cable.

Cheap OBD don't have sleep function as it will drain battery if you leave it be over night. Drain to what extent then i have no idea. So if you decided to try the ones from ebay then just make sure you unplug after each time you use it.

Mostly are cosmetic difference. Internally PE got 32bit ecu, which making OBD monitoring support possible.

Other than that nothing kut....

Standard mixture is 50% water, 50% coolant. With water using distilled water as there's no metal ion in it.

Coolant reservoir i actually use distilled water. The level just high enough to submerge the pipe from radiator would do.

The rationale is reservoir tank under normal circumstances function as catchment area for expanded coolant during hot engine. When engine cool down, coolant volume will shrink and siphon back fluid from reservoir tank to make up the void.

Thus under ideal situation, it should contain same fluid as in your radiator. But if coolant tak cukup, distilled water also can.

On the proportion of coolant versus diluent, if you check those coolant imported from country with winter season, they actually indicate the more percentage coolant you use, the more resistant of radiator fluid to form ice.

Looking at Malaysia don't have winter, we don't really need 100% coolant. We only need it for anti-corrosive properties. So standard 50% mixture should suffice.

Hi all,

Want to do a fast quick check.

Does IAFM+ in Prevé Executive have the same parts number as persona IAFM unit?

If it doesn't can Prevé IAFM+ be installed and use in Persona Elegance?

Thanks in Advance!

Any super market. Air Suling.

Battery about to kaput?

Could it be starter? I really have no idea bro.. So sorry for not being able to help.

Agreed, not normal. I hardly top up, got also reservoir tank only.

The most common leaking part is at water pump gasket there. You might want to check there during your next service.

Hi all,

Anyone here using IRIZ intake manifold unit as per recommended by Zordaq?

Temped to change since my IAFM second time kaput. But really worried about low rpm torque lose. Need some user review.

Got?

Have you done tyre alignment and balancing for the problem?

If this happens, engine oil might look creamy due to emulsification. Easy to trace.

Oh i see... How the issue was solved? Mind to share?
