I had that before. Even got the warning once. Gear icon with message, slow down. After CVT oil change all sorted. Dumped Proton SC from then on. Trusted them to follow their own service schedule but they never did. Luckily no long term damage. At least none I can see/feel so far la.

Anyway, I recently started hearing the whining sound again from the gearbox. Next service will be time to change CVT oil and CVT oil filter liao.....

BTW, to those celebrating, Gong Xi Fa Chai!!! Huat arrr!!!!!

Sorry. Didn’t answer yr question. Not sure how to check but the first time I had the warning, I send to outside mechanic and he plugged in Bosch diagnostic tool and told me my CVT oil degraded. So not sure if its something you can do yourself.

I reckon, check the service schedules, if its time to change, just do it.

Alright thanks a lot brother. I didn’t get the warning light but definitely going to have it checked ASAP.

if u follow proton, 100k km only will change cvt.. u always high speed.. change at 40k km.. double of i, change bottom filter too.. should eliminiate the sound.. go get recommended cvt oil

Hmm... I see. That’s a really useful information. I bought the car about 6 months ago a 2010 model. Now has 70000 on the odometer. Only had 1 previous owner. Honestly I don’t know if he didn’t drive much or they changed the odometer 🤷🏻‍♂️ But the car is in great shape and dead stock.

So far I’ve only had to change the rear shocks, boot dampers, battery and undertrays. No performance mods.
But... I drive like mad especially when the road is empty haha 😂 chased an Audi at 200km once, never caught him of course but it was good fun 😂 That’s when I first realized about the whining sound. Ever since then I only hear the whining I think about 140-150 and above. But yeah... I better get it checked and take it easy for now haha 😂

Can anyone recommend a workshop around Bandar Saujana Putra/Putra Heights/Subang Jaya/Puchong area that I can trust to service my Inspira? Seems like a few workshops have no experience working on an Inspira ☹️

I have to change my CVT fluid but I’d rather not go to a Proton service center, because I don’t want the proton CVT fluid. It’s garbage apparently haha 😂.

cvt is for leisure driving.. not for race obviously.. if u keep push to the max, of course lot of thing will come out

u could go anywhere.. buy your own cvt oil.. lazada got a lot.. give them and change.. should be similar and workshop will know

Wish u all, cheapjing cover to huatjing. Gong xi fa chai

I did some reading up and I’m making sure to get genuine Mitsubishi CVT fluid J4 (Rm46/L on Lazada). As I understand J1 and J4 is the same, it’s just that J4 is the newer formula. Although the dip stick says to use J1 but J4 can also be used. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I think 4L should be enough right?

Happy cny all..

4 to 5 l of its only for drain and top up.

If full drain, empty all, needs more.

Hi all.. might have been asked/posted before, but 88 Versions too long to look through

Why does this happen? Seen the same on a few other Inspiras..



Also where to get cheapest spare part replacement for this

Dear all. Happy CNY

My inspira just clocked 110k still doing fine. However recently my engine check light warning pop up. Sent to SC they reset the speed sensor then i
The light went off. But one day after it appear again. May I know anyone face this before and how to solve?

Replace the gearbox speed sensor (manual)

Mine also cracked. I ended up taking it off and patching the clip holes. Debadged the car as well. The back end looks so much cleaner now.

Boss, how much is the damage?
