After done ppf still need coating? Unless only for certain parts..

BTW 1k don't think u can get decent ppf, and if you really want ppf better get the good one because you don't want to spend on something that destroy your paint when peeling off or not performing as you wanted.

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.

compare with other x50 frens or sc or shopping malls

Anyone having this issue when the aircond fan is set at level 1 to 3, there is this high pitch sound from the aircond vent?

When it's set at level 4 and above, the noise disappear. It's not really that audible but it's really annoying especially in the early morning when it's kinda quiet.

Mine got whistle sound after service. Not sure whether got any relation to air flow after changing the cabin filter. But after a while didn't notice the whistle sound maybe set the air blower at level 2-3.

Lucky got no small kids or else get pee all over the car biggrin.gif

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.

This is my dip stick before my 10k service and after service EO vol. Both using the 0-20W Shell oil. I find the new and after 10k oil is roughly the same around 5-6bar.

I have just come back from Proton COE and managed to speak to 3 experts from the tech dept.
from my understanding throughout the conversation:

1. the x50 dipstick measures the top 1 litre of engine oil. if the dipstick does not show any oil level, it does not mean there isn't any oil in the engine.
2. if engine oil is really insufficient, the red oil sign will be lighted up in the instrument cluster. in this case, then should send the car for further check.
3. in general, turbo engine would consume engine oil and this is normal as long as not too extreme.
