it's true. But practically, is not a good practice actually.
First thing, the oil is inside our engine, noone knows the oil's condition after x km of run. You can't drain and see, you can't suck it up and see, the only thing you can see the oil is from the dipstick. As the engine oil is the only lubricant that maintains the engine's lifetime, it's a better practice to change it earlier rather than using until the life span limit of the engine oil. If you want to take care of your car's heart, you are recommended to do oil change before even reaching the service mileage. For example , 500km before your next service date. Some say rugi to service earlier but long term, you prolong your engine's lifespan.

Anyone still got shift gear slow response issue for MT after more than 3k mileage?

Hi jlyeow,
I tried with a different, better quality (Phillips) aux cable and now it sounds better than before.

Thanks buddy!

Hi nejordida,

Good to hear that you've solved the AUX cable issue.

I read through several articles about the treble distortion issue via Bluetooth audio streaming. Some say you have to reduce the treble via the EQ in the phone setting. I have yet to try it hence I cannot comment much. Perhaps you can try it out? I'm gonna try mine this evening to see if it works.

Settings > Music > EQ > Treble Reducer

Good luck mate!

Still the same as ever but I actually grow accustomed to it and learn how to drive to prevent power lost

It's just the same basic concept like fill in and drive till your tank is empty but mine I don't have the strength to continue driving.
For the calculation 2 bar = 11.428l, for general assumption 40l/7bar (fuel bar), I know sometimes the bar represent aren't not consistent and accurate
but hey we won't know the correct accuracy unless we zeroed the tank and fill in from the start and then zeroed it back, I'm pretty sure proton has done this thing for us.
We can actually assume 95% of the correct estimation. There are some correction, corrected on the previous calculation.


Fuel Estimation when fill in,

Before Travel
26.8l fuel refill
5.714 fuel left before refill (1 bar left)
______
32.514l total fuel

After Travel
32.514l total fuel
11.428l left after travel
______
21.086l Used


Distance Travel 380KM/21.086l fuel used.
18.024 KM/l

It's seems good to be true though, I'll tested it again this week, going back to perak again this week will record everything on paper.

Too good to be true like I said the meter is not linear haha. But then I could be wrong because I don't own a Persona VVT yet.

Actually you don't need to empty the fuel tank to know how much you had used. Just fill up full tank and reset your trip mileage. On the next refill, fill up full tank again. The second refill volume is how much fuel you had used up in that trip. Divide your trip mileage with that volume = KM/L.

If you want even more accurate, make the fuel guns jump three times in each refill. at the same pump.

Any solution for it ?

Back then in my saga fl if the petrol tank is full the fuel will leak out. Will this happen to my persona also? I will pump my car once my range says 50km with fuel indicator blinking and i always pump Rm75 which is 32.6L of fuel. How much more can i pump without spilling fuel out of the tank? If thats possible.

They gave you 10W-30? At what price?
Oh wait..fully syn is 5W-30? What price?
Why the heck do they give me an older/pricer engine oil!!??

why say 10w40 is "older" engine oil?
10w40 and 10w30 different in the viscosity. There's no "new" or "old" meaning here.

New cars should use thinner viscosity, preferably 5w30 / 10w30

New range got mineral 15W-40 costs RM75 excl GST.

10W-30 semi should cost RM100 excl GST.

Full syn 5W-30 costs RM180 excl GST.

Make sure next time they give you Syntium SE with Cooltech feature.

Find paul tan blog, late last year Proton launch with Petronas new Syntium SE (supposed to stand for Serviced at Edar as in Proton Edar) range with 3 choices I mentioned above. They're all API SN too. Also, they're said to only be available at Proton SC, so should not be that easily available outside.

10W-40 must be the older Syntium with API SM and no Cooltech feature.

If you have any issue need them to attend, I would suggest COSE at Shah Alam, normal oil change, any service centre should be ok.

I don't suffer such power lost anymore... acceleration is much linear now... some other part also due to I got accustomed to it on releasing the clutch for a more linear acceleration.. ofcourse if I release clutch too quick, I'll still feel the pull back, but this pull back also exist on my other ride if clutch released too quick. Atleast now going up hill I don't have to pedal down so much as compared to before I change the switch stop lamp




There were twice where the fuel overflow at just 1st click even I fixed the nozzle gauge at lowest pressure... that's why I never use the 3 clicks method before on this car

In that case you just pump for 1 click in each refueling. The idea is just to get apple to apple comparison. Best is same station same pump. hahaha

Very interested in this car, sweet price for what you get. Now going through this thread.

Best bang for your ringgit, seriously.
