I just dont understand, I dont do frequent short trips, park in shaded areas, car only 3 years old. And yet the battery still dies prematurely at 11 months + .

Hi, to be honest I didn't feel much difference in the fuel saving..if there is also is negligible

In terms of sound also I didn't feel much.
Maybe I'm numb to the noise.
Don't think it's worth the upgrade.

Since I still servicing in proton and their fully synthetic is now 10w30( syntium 3000 see)
guess I'll stick with it. It's around 220.
Petronas station is selling at 10w40 syntium 3000 I saw around 240
*
How much you bought your 10w30 petronas? I just asked the proton centre they told me its RM118 for it.

Omgg fully synthetic is so expensive. I gonna try tesco branded fully synthetic 5w40 for my next oil change. Have been using shell and castrol magnatec and they are really good.

Yea is kinda expensive.
For now im travelling quite frequently and 70% of my milleage is claimable.
so can cover still.
once i travel less (maybe change of job)
and not claimable ill settle to semi synthetic

Tesco oil is quite cheap.
Tesco's shell full synthetic is <100
Not sure if its genuine or not.

Yes I bought Tesco fully synthetic for rm72 after discount and coupon via 11street.

I bought castrol semi rm85 , shell helix semi rm95 , both from Tesco. Quite cheap.

So far on my P.E

1.gear slip while steering is turning and u acceleration suddenly. (Proton sc solved for me)

2.outside smoke/odour enter cabin easily (sent to proton sc)

3.rear seat unable to attach back after i recline it, sc adjust the latch but still need to push very very hard to attach it (happen 1st week after collect car) / left side rear passenger door need close very hard else the door will bounce back (unable to solve until today)

4.gearbox jerk when accelerate (change gear oil)

5.iafm+ intake manifold tuk tuk sound, 1st time under warranty so they replace the whole thing, 2nd time warranty expired so send outside to repair, damaged Rm280 in Kuching.

6.aircond control knob spoiled (always on full blower), repair for Rm80

And normal wear and tear don't need mention. Service every 5k with semi sync.. 7 years and change 1 set of absorber mounting, engine mounting, radiator tank, 1 set spark plug and thats all... for my surprise absorber not yet fail until now.. haha..

Did SC alter the position of the passenger door latch to solace the problem? I had this prob too when I first get my car, SC helped to change the position of the latch and now it works fine.

They adjust both side, the latch and the lock at the door side.. but unable to solve it, just not as bad as when collect the car.. still if kids using the back door they will have hard time to close it tight.

Oh ya.. my headlight also gt plastic melt stain if turn on light for too long.. they have replaced 2 sets for me within warranty period.. now using the 2nd replacement and yes, it got stain inside too, but dont care anymore since warranty expired.

Btw, wanted to buy carbon type cabin air filter but doesn't seems anywhere got sell it.. mine is Patco type.. anyone tried/bought carbon type cabin air filter before?

I own a persona sv, I don't have the headlight problem I mentioned, maybe they hv rectified it? lol and luckily passenger door prob solved. 3 years down the road, normal wear and tear such as tyres, battery change, brake pads changed. Aircon compressor clutch broke spent bout 300 to replace. No major problem , touch wood.

Damn.
My passenger door leaking again !
I send to SC to fix last year under warranty. This year happen again.

I opened the trim and found out that the adhersive doesn't stick to the plastic sheet anymore.

Where can I fix this? Accessory shop?
Raining season here up in the north.

yea my butt dyno says 5W30 is better in acceleration.. but i think its a bit louder around 2k rpm onwards.. nonetheless still noisy on 10w40..  laugh.gif

I think 10w40 is the best for campro, and it's the recommended engine oil viscosity written in the car manual. And I personally tried those xw30 about 3 times, engine noise is obvious. xw40 is very noticeably quiet and smoother.
