I haven't gotten my OCH changed at 40k km. Might change it at 45k or 50k when I reach that mileage since its still soft and there are no cracks (touched it during service).

I use Syntium 7000 since the beginning of ownership, and have used Liqui moly Ceratec and Nano WS2 extreme before. No issues so far. Oil change interval between 5 to 7k

haha. mine using syntium 3000 5w30 once i take over, during 30k oil change got ask sa to check the och, still in good condition.

Also look at the mileage and the service record. If official record stops abruptly @ very long ago, be wary of the car. Warranty is really important especially for a proton since it has so many things that can fail, unless it has already been 5 years.

Be wary of tampered mileage as well. Most used cars dealer do this to raise the value. If you do end up buying a used Suprima, it's better if you do a major service, which is to change the engine oil, timing belt and related parts, CVT Oil and filter, power steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant, etc, just in case the mileage adjustment was really huge. Years ago I went hunting for a used car with my friend... and I found one with a mileage of only 75k km... and when I opened the hood, 189xxx was written on the timing belt cover, which I believe is the last mileage change for timing belt. Used car dealers probably have gotten much smarter since then.

P/S: Just in case you're looking for a workshop recommendation, I suggest EA Autoworks at Bukit Jalil. Not the cheapest around, but you will be very satisfied with their workmanship and diligence. Get the throttle body/intercooler serviced as well perhaps along with an oil catch tank.

GOSHHH!!! this is starting to be a real turn off I have gotten my hopes so high on this model. as it fits my budget nicely of below 40k...my budget is 40k, with 5-6k factored in for repair..so, sticker price the most i go is 31-33k...

but in all honesty, its really saddening to hear about all these reliability issues...geezzzz...

any words of advice to turn this around?.. comforting or encouraging words that why this model is still worth it, for a year 2015 model....

not really a turn off. once get the car, just replace all the oil.. and dont use it like a rally car then everything should be fine.

its a very good car at the given price... if have more budget.. can go for ketam turbo.. around 13k..

Can someone assist me where can i find shop that have stock for Suprima S body kit in Klang valley ? planning to install the R3 skirting .. it look nice .

I tried to find in Puchong accessories shop but all no stock.

Hey guys,

Just got my used proton suprima. I noticed the bluetooth audio quite bad (low bitrate and lacks of bass). Is this normal?

Did you buy your songs, or you downloaded them? All of my songs which I bought through iTunes don't have any quality issues via Bluetooth. The only issue is the head unit bluetooth isn't very stable, so i gave up using it.

hello, just dropping by since I'm an Exora user.
2013 model, so far so good. 86k only, no complaints.

Any suggestion for intake hose? Mine standard one pecah near the turbo side. Been considering the SAMCO+Stainless+SAMCO version. Thanks in advance.

I'm using spotify. I used bluetooth audio with my previous car, didn't have any issue with sound quality. But my suprima bluetooth audio quality sounds tinny. Its annoying lol.
Mine is suprima S btw. Not sure if the head unit got issue. No problem with radio sound quality though

Checked the equaliser setting already? I'm not sure if software can cause this issue, but you can get yours updated at any service centre if the version isn't 7.84.

Alternatively get a good quality Aux cable (even though it's not convenient). I got one made by someone here for rm60 last time.

Found my SS got burning smell during speeding. Any idea?

I believe it's normal, but check around your engine to see if engine oil is leaking out. It normally occurs around the rocker cover.

After 1 week driving SS, i would say that SS is the best proton car ever.
Everyday driving this car make me feel so happy although i have some issue with rear bonet can't open, front sensor and rear sensor is not working , headlamp masuk air, when braking the car will vibrate But, it was fixed by Proton COSE

Overall , it is a great car

Full city drive, i can get 9.6l/100km .. wish can get below 9 hahaha !!

Mine is less than 9l/100km.

Congrats. Make full use of the warranty, take good care of the engine/gearbox, and it should be mostly OK for the long run. Get an oil catch tank installed soon to prevent oil residue build-up in your turbo and intercooler.

After every drive, be sure to let the car idle for at least 30 seconds with the air-cond set to the coldest,blower speed set to around 4, and windows open. This will force the radiator fan to run, which will cool down the turbo/CVT. I leave mine for at least a minute, up to 10 if I've been driving hard or long distances. Never had the radiator fan come on after engine shutdown.

Wow i envy you haha . still trying to control my foot .. is hard

Yeah , i will straight go to drex install OCT after 1000km service hahaha !

Wow that is a great tips, thank you bro !

How much you install OCT? Where you install?

You can search on facebook EA autoworks, Drex quoted me RM 3xx for OCT.
