Hi Owners, not sure if this has been discussed before here, its about engine oil consumption for x50.
Just found out the engine oil level is only 3 level shown on dipstick with cold engine (left overnite measured in the morning) , after start engine and warmed up for 5mins, measured again and this time only showed 1 level on dipstick.
last service was in Nov21, mileage 4k+ (2nd service)
current mileage is 6k+

any owners had the same encounter? if yes, what was the advise you got from proton service centre? Please share. thx.

Mine is showing only 3 level also after service with 5L of 5w-30 EO. According to manual:-

"Restart the engine and let it run at an idle speed for 3 minutes, and then shut down the engine. Wait for 10 minutes and inspect the engine oil level again; add appropriate engine oil if necessary."

Saw some of them mentioned have around 4 to 5 and even 6 some of them. I'm buying a 1L EO to top up myself. Very weird that my previous service the SC is using 0w-20 EO but now using 5w-30 EO. I think 0w-20 EO is much more expensive.

I'm wondering why Proton use 5L of EO only but Geely Coolray in Philippines using 5.6L. Yet Proton's SC not using standard quality of EO. Some use 0w-20 and some use 5w-30.

Maintenance comparison Proton and Geely Coolray

Mine is 3 years 3 months, now with the same situation. No interest to have it change. I put on yellow normal mode, then less noise. I think drove around 3 years in blue eco mode might have contributed to this faster.

Mine is also 3 years plus and this dual mass flywheel problem getting louder especially on 6th gear and going uphill. Might also hear it at 5th and 7th gear at certain speed. Booked to get it replaced and have to leave the car for few days. Estimate damage is 2K plus. Check the parts selling in shopee is 2.5K. Very unfortunate cry.gif that this issue came up after 3 years where the warranty expired. I didn't even manage to drive for more than 6 months during MCO time.

How to know whether this is a flywheel issue

Car starting to have weird sound when I am doing accelerate from low speed

The sound is like putting coin in the empty can and shake it
*
Below is a link I found have similar sound to mine. Mine as mentioned is very obvious especially at gear 6 going uphill and can hear also at gear 5 and gear 7.

Flywheel problem sound

sweat.gif Luckily after checking the part ID, mine is still under warranty. Maybe mine is the first batch have 5 yrs warranty cover. Got mine replaced FOC biggrin.gif .

The invoice showed that dual mass flywheel price is slightly over 1.6K and labour charge is about 0.5K which total up to over 2.1K.

Anyone tried UX7 215/55 R18? Planned to get Hankook Ventus Prime4 K135 RM4xx but unfortunately no stock. Due to my 4 yrs old UC6 already koyak big piece at side wall so desperate changed to UX7 which cost me RM580/pc x 4 bangwall.gif . I believe you can get far more cheaper cause me really desperate at buying time.

It's quieter and more confident in cornering and wet also. Could be new tyres thread more confident.

Hi… when you changed the flywheel. Did they drain the radiator coolant? Now topup coolant asking me to pay for it. A bit pissed now only they say and not covered in the warranty cost.

They didn’t mention before and during change. Only now after change.

If do not agree the cost they will add back old coolant and unsure if any contaminants inside. In other words they leave me no choice….
*
No. They did not charge me on radiator coolant nor did they mention anything of draining the radiator coolant.

Have anyone facing eSim problem all of a sudden no 4G connection since September 2025. Without 4G, Proton Link app cannot log trips, cannot remote control (eg. start), no updated car info and no location update.

Troubleshoot:
1. I did try the reset function via the fuse box but no success few times. Failed no 4G connection.
2. Update to latest infotainment system. Lost legacy infotainment system. Failed also no 4G connection.
Latest infotainment system have refresh looks but some annoying voice door opening warning. Didn't notice Hi Proton interruption during conversation as compared to legacy system.
3. Reset to factory default latest infotainment system. Still failed no 4G connection.
4. Changed to new battery after 2 yrs plus since having symptoms car difficult to start if left without driving for over a day. Still no 4G connection.
5. After 2 months plus without 4G connection bangwall.gif , decided to ask SC to troubleshoot on next service.

confused.gif After 2 months plus of losing hope, 4G connection miraculously appeared! hmm.gif

should suspect your t-box (telemetry box) failing.

when you buy the car? because it only free 5 yr of 4G/remote control feature.. after that need subscribe
*
That's what I suspect t-box died. Was going to refer to SC to check out.

My car haven't reached 5yrs yet. Still got few more months to go. In fact I lost 2 months plus of free 1G quota due to no 4G connection. Did check with wifi showing unused monthly 1G quota due to no 4G connection.
