pls do manual calculation after you fill full tank and don't rely on the meter. It's very not accurate, especially if the car is still new..

only 2014?

1.3 radio right? Most likely not. Do update here on how they plan to fix your radio volume fluctuating..

and also SC will most likely recommend Petronas Syn 800 (semi-syn) oil, good enough..

I bought mine in 2015.. September..

sorry maam. Mineral, Semi-Syn or Fully Syn all is 10k km, 5k km is bullshit. The SC just managed to cheat your $$. You went to Authorised SC and not Official Branch SC right?

i dont think there's such thing as fully syn 20k as well. What fully syn engine oil did they use? 20 000 km is really stretching it, even for fully syn oil. I think there's a mistake made by the foreman servicing your car..

Everything black and white already written in the service booklet. It is 10k regardless of whatever the heck EO you put in the car. No 5k or 20k.
For your own benefit, please consult car manual and service manual.

The only exception of 5k service intervals is for heavy usage like taxis.

and i can confirm you went to Authorised SC and not Official Branch SC already..
I always tell people this, for better product & service information go back to Official Branch SC. Authorised SC will tell a lot of cock stories to earn more money. and sometimes the info they give is just, cannot brain and totally opposite of what Proton said..

Authorised SC = private workshops that are commissioned by Proton to service Proton cars.. Being private workshops their shop names usually like XXXXX Sdn Bhd.

Official Branch SC = They have the Proton Edar name like Proton Edar Mutiara Damansara SC or Proton Edar Setapak SC...

Normally, official branch SC should be more well advised regarding matters like these because they deal directly with Proton, while Authorised SC are just 3rd party workshops so often they don't get or follow the memo that Proton given them.. and if the mistakes made by official branch sc then you can screw them kao kao.

So depends on which SC you went, the advice they give may be quite misleading.. (often times Authorised SC like to tell owners that semi-syn oil can only last 5k km whereas in actual fact it can go to 10k km, even for mineral EO)

and idk if your fully syn can really last 20k km, so better to get it checked again.. If you know what EO the SC used even better then you can check with us here or online and see how far/long it can really last..


and also the KM remaining is not automated. Don't think any intelligent oil monitor involved in that.. It is set by the service advisor that was servicing your car using the laptop that is plugged to the OBD..

yeap and is dangerous too.

If our roads are well taken care of still "okay" la. But Malaysia so many potholes, one time run over a pothole and the rims may break and damage your car.

EDIT: Here found a good video explaining it.

sudah 6 months?

whats wrong with your alignment?

ohh yes mine also got a bit senget the steering. But if let it be, the car still goes straight and doesn't swerve to left/right or anything... So not really bad yet. But mine only like this after 2500+ km already and been through numerous potholes and what not..

1.3 radio right. A lot of us face this issues..

welcome! Hope your car will be problem free and enjoy the ride

No other options. It's the crappy radio supplied by Blaupunkt.

As for my case, the SC gave me option of removing radio and sending it to Penang (Blaupunkt's factory I think) to be fixed. But it takes 2-3 weeks (means radioless the entire time)
Don't know if other SC will provide a 1 to 1 replacement unit. Anyone?

Well nowadays i just blast the radio at 10.. So sometimes the volume fluctuate not so noticeable if dont pay attention.

That's the reason why until today I didn't go back SC to get it fixed lol. I think I can live with it rather than go radioless 2-3 weeks...


But still damn, what kind of stupid problem is this Proton

can give link? Sounds gooding. My car reaching 3k km soon, and the steering alignment a bit to the right already. But otherwise car still goes straight and doesn't swerve.. Just OCD me want the steering to be straight lol.

that is 1.6 la..

1.3 CVT top 160km/h
1.3 MT top 165km/h

Mine is 1.3 CVT and I tried before and I could reach 160km/h

Is the highway downhill a bit? I have no idea, i only tried at DUKE highway behind my house at 4-5am in the morning lol. I pushed it to 160km/h thats all. Didn't really push anymore to see if it can go faster than 160..
Just wanted to test see whether it can reach the max speed Proton claims it could and am just happy that it is able to match what Proton said. So anything more is just a bonus

and yes, the car is still very stable and doesn't shake like a madman like in Myvis/Vivas/Axias when going over 100+ km/h which is very commendable for Proton..
