Does your car engine consuming engine oil aka makan black oil? If no then don't try the High Mileage engine oil as it's high viscosity oil, your FC most probably will go worse.

my ex japan old car engine having problem, constant knocking after high revving by foreman when testing suspension. also consuming engine oil at 4k km/1 litre.
last year tried journey Penang > Kelantan > Terengganu > Pahang > Genting, abit worried but it managed to took the challenge. if your engine is good condition, nothing to worry.

for gen2/persona, normally when engine cold in morning, try to open the radiator cap, fill-in abit water to see if it's really full or not. my gen2 last time encountered a few time after coolant replacement, air bubble inside so spare tank is full, but radiator only 3/4 full (although from radiator cap still seeing some coolant color), able to fill-in another 300-400ml...

I guess chances are very minimal. My gen2 bought new store yard unit laying 4 years unused.
By now I guess you would only able to get store yard units for Preve, Suprima S, perhaps year 2014-2015...

There are many mechanic out there claiming Toyota T-IV is compatible and superior than SP3, reason being it's number 4 so by right surpassing number 3... Totally non true.
There are Multi Vehicle type of synthetic ATF which written compatible with T-IV, SP3, Dexron III, those I will trust to pour into my car...

why not consider new Preve IAFM manual instead?

Normal, the gearbox design. It's meant for engine braking preference over the fuel efficiency design, I not sure why Proton so like "amplifying" engine braking concept, even their newer gen car with CVT also playing with engine braking....

No, I wasn't refer to the "hard force" downshifting engine braking method.. what I mean is like when you lift up throttle, the speed decreases faster than other cars while it still on same gear without downshifting... It feels more like a drag..
I'm on gen2 campro version, even without downshifting cruising downslope with 80km/h still feeling the speed decreases

But proton original also from kayabao right? You used the sports kayabao is it?

You need to refer another thread, this one for "legacy" persona... We don't have GPS so cannot advise you, haha

I think thread starter aka The_FQ400 need to rename the thread to Gen1 Persona to avoid confusion, haha.

my gen2 encountered it, rear driver side flooded. I diy repaste the weathershield inside the door.

i think persona/gen2 is quite stable at such speed, unless your handling deteriorate due to suspension wear and tear. Having owned older altis 1.8 and current polo sedan, none of it beat the persona/gen2 stability at highway. both of the mentioned cars feel big "pull" when passing big lorry/bus; while my gen2 feels lesser and relatively stable on that.

some facebook member posted their gen2 mileage over 500k km (no intend pun to show off, asking fuel meter issue), so yours still can tahan a long way...

I think it's not engine requiring overhaul, but might need a decarbonizing session for combustion chamber, intake, to restore the power.
Campro engine is actually quite reliable unless regular maintenance neglected..

Confirmed meter tempered, impossible Proton can run such high mileage, did the tyre came out during driving? Only Volvo 240 capable of doing that.
Lol

Encountered that before, go magat shop they got method to screw back. Maybe with some bigger surface washer..

heard Michelin XM2 lasts really long, easily 60k km no problem.

Expect somewhere 230 per piece.

yes, the 20w50 rating came from the earliest batch of gen2 campro engine, maybe because it's first malaysian own-built engine, so they trying to play it safe to avoid engine failure.
during those days mostly still having mindset of "thicker engine oil = more protection"; "xxw30 weight is water, you think your car is kancil?"

btw, i have been using 5w30 fully synthetic for 3 months, seems not much different as my car engine still same noisy (was thinking to do firewall soundproofing). FC also same, but noticed the acceleration is more rev-happy.

195/65/R15? why previously u use so fat tyre? of coz FC suffer.
