Thanks Ayamxxx. I will try to rotate it this weekend then and update.
Ya... Now don't have any items under front seat but the Airbag failure came back today. -.-
Either I need to go back to Proton. But do you know which wire / socket I can try to push back to solve this issue?
*
Someone has shared in fb about this issue and he pointed out that the airbag related wire is the yellow cable in the photo, you may want to check its connection, good luck

dont trust the gauge.
when pump petrol, check how much you pump vs mileage, you will be surprised proton's meter over states the mileage.
*
I can understand the gauge reading is not accurate if you have a wide range of routes from highway and city but i have done several test where i have reset the car average Fc reading before heading to North South hw from PJ to Penang with total distance of 355.1km, normally, the gauge estimate and actual calculated fc should be near. However, x50 missed by a mile.
These are the data:
Trip distance: 355.1km
Fuel: 26.49 liter
Fuel consumption: 13.4051km/liter or 7.46liter per 100km
Gauge reading: 6.7 l/100km
My other car the Proton Inspira P 2.0 cvt gives accurate estimate:
Distance 356.9 km
Fuel: 25.332 liter
FC rate: 7.1l/100km
Gauge reading: 7.2l /100km
Conclusion: don't get excited when your car average fc shown somehow impressive.
For me, i m not too concern of x50 fc as the driving experience is way better n superb compare to my inspira. I did the test purely out of curiosity

The Engine oil provided by Proton X50 is a Shell branded 0W-20 grade oil (which I believe it's a similar Shell-HX8 type of oil but sold at a lowered price than RRP). However we need to note that our Proton Service maintenance book did mention the use of 5W-30 grade oil but since the Volvo XC40 T5 also uses a OW-20 here in Malaysia I supposed it will work for our engine too (also noting that Volvo Malaysia uses the Castrol Edge Professional 0W-20 oil of 5.6L vs our X50 Shell 0W-20 of 5L when Volvo's service interval is longer.

It is also good to know that the Geely Coolray sold in Philippines also states to use the 0W-20 grade oil at 10k intervals which have a similar weather to ours.

I have completed my 10k service which the oil has only run 9200km (considering I change a fresh new oil at 1000km) and noted that the oil changes from Golden colour to brownish with a few sediments and a reduction of approx. 0.5L of the total 5L oil. Personally after witnessing this which I drove lightly especially during MCO period, I will not keep the engine oil beyond the 10,000km mark anytime in the future unless one drive very less than it may be debatable.
*
Some owners in fb has updated Proton has changed the x50 engine oil from Shell 0w20 to now Petronas 5w30. Let's see in my next 20k service come Feb 2022.

Due to covid, i receive car only months.
And yet using on highway, only using L2 when cruising interstate.
10-15min on a section where doesnt have a lot junction and road mark clear.
Everyday passing there, but not everyday using L2 on that section.
*
As for me, i m surely impressed with the x50 L2 although i was sceptical initially. After using it for a while, m now pretty confident with it albeit only highway cruising.
The longest stretch was around 150km from Pg to Kl and vice versa.

Yes the thigh support not able to cover whole thigh.

But there is accessories available to extend the seat thigh support available online made for X50, not sure if anyone tried that.
*
Fully agree and yes, you can get the seat extender but i doubt it is effective as it looks flimsy.
A different question, any owner install a EZBPOWER super conductor to supposedly extend car battery life by 10 folds? I m interested as worried of short battery life incidence as reported by owner in fb.
You can search this brand in fb or Google it. It's from taiwan.
Thank you

Ezbpower? Extend battery life 10x?  More like marketing bs.
Be serious, if it few hundred can be install.
But it is 3K, you can change like 8 time amaron battery be like 10 yr(if you 1 year+- 1 battery)

Tldr make no sense.
*
Theoretically, it should extend the car battery life as cranking will be done from the super conductor rather than our car battery, test shows a 2500cc car can be started using a motorcycle battery but again, as you have mentioned, it could be another marketing bs.
I am surely not expecting 10 times extension but if can get like 3 yrs will be already a bonus not to seek saving in battery replacement but rather peace of mind not to be surprised by dead battery when starting car. Apart from the battery life extension, it has other attractive positive feedback with the car, yes again it can be another bs.
Btw, my brother's bm plug in hybrid car's battery can last more than 3yrs with very little usage just bcos cranking hybrid car comes from hybrid battery rather than car battery.
Just like to seek owners opinion n feedback who have used this product before. Tq

Of course if given option I would want the car seat came extended, the seat extender doesn't come cheap as well.

meanwhile for the Super Conductor, does it work like Voltage Stabilizer?
*
My bad, it's actually supercapacitors and not super conductor. And yes, one of its functions is also helping to stabilize voltage as advertised.
Option to get tricker charger for my car battery is not an option as i am staying in a condo, removing the car battery to be charged at home will not be a nice solution.

No.
Need to downgrade back to 617 V1.



Mine version 617 with Xeon's script and added the optimization to disable auto update, however, today saw the newer version 644 is auto downloading and near completion. Question: what should i do to avoid the update? Will it update by itself? Please help

Unfortunately Akotek came out with rhe OTA app via Astore.
Did you remember that you installed the new OTA?

As for the 644 that downloading, I have no idea for now.
Just let it be and don't click "install now".
See if that will pop-up everytime you start car.
Sametime, if you got the hidden settings apk installed, then you can try look for that new ota app package name .
Disabled that new OTA app might help.

Noted, as of now, the best I can do is not to hit the button to update/upgrade. Hopefully when doing my next service, SC will not do it but I will surely remind them not to.
Anyway, thanks for the advice.
