Campro memang easy to hit high speed, easier than to hit 0-100. After 100 it doesn't take much effort to go further.

But each campro has their quirks lah, ex : 0 low end torque for first gen campro (black top) then IAFM keep rosak for campro IAFM

CPS I'm not so sure, quite an attractive engine imo especially paired with Proton's 5 speed Manual.

TS, biar betul. If I hear the signature teppet sound, I know it's a Campro engine nearby.

How many top overhaul due to that? Taxi drivers will be the first to tell you Campro engine is 'weak'.

Campro might just be good enough for those who service and maintain their engines well, but once you use them in high heat environment (like fitting in NGV in taxis) or don't follow maintenance schedule religiously, problems crop up.

Compare that to the older Mitsubishi engines used in the old Saga, Wira or Waja or Toyota engines, especially when NGV is used, Campro has what I'd call, lack of engineering margins.

CPS is basically a vtec clone

The radiator coolant couldn’t cool it down? NGV produces so much heat kah?

I think no if I recall correctly.. Check again during the weekends

I'm not an automotive guy but I have both the old Saga with Mitsu engine fitted with NGV and the facelift 1st Gen Persona (with the IAFM).

I really love the Persona, one of the best looking Protons before the Geely comes out, it has really aged well.

When I send my trusty old Saga for tuning with the NGV specialist, I heard a lot of horror stories about Campro engines when using NGV. The money saved from fitting NGV is used to pay for engine repairs, sometimes not worth the hassle or cost, some taxi drivers with Campro Protons would rather use petrol than NGV.

how do u know its clean? most of the metal deposits cannot been seen with bare eyes.

you need to clean it so you will know the condition of the engine and if there is any sign of sludge build up. it is the easiest "window" to your engine.

draining the engine oil does not remove all deposits. especially if your mechanic only uses the sucking machine. alot of deposits still running around back in your engine.

i believe it is a good practice to be done once in while.

no change eo for one year as i always check the quality of oil in engine... eo still good why need to change?

engineering research done alot to eo, should be can used for long time. if follow bengkel, memang dia suruh tukar la.

so far so good... clocked 140k ... chg rocker cover once, timing belts, etc
but minyak not so save la.. around 8.1l/100km

u dunno K3-VE ??? is a legend .. pickup fast , safe oil , reliable.. campro is trash .. u see potong current campro car selling cheap cheap then u know trash it is

Own one. Reliable. Never overhaul clock >240k+ km. Just normal maintenance and sometime major service.

500k mark? Need another 10 years to know.

kasi up skit, tngk owner sini, dah smpai 500k ?

I find campro very "rough"
