QUOTE(neorage_x @ Sep 24 2008, 03:44 PM) Hi guy's, I just got my new persona last month. I am due to do my 1st service using the voucher. I have called proton i-care, and she said that the voucher can be used eventhough my millage have exceeded 2k. Is this true? One more thing, how much do all of you pay on your 1st service? Wow that's a lot! Best service it asap, I recommend Shah Alam SC based on recommendation. I went to Section 13 SC, terrible  Around RM109 if not mistaken first service, use the non synthetic engine oil. If synthetic, much more expensive, but better

I ask them waht oil to use for my 1st service. They recommend semi-synthetic. Then I ask him what is I use fully synthetic, he said that persona engine is not suitable to use full synthetic wor...

Reason being why I recommend Shah Alam SC is cause the place has a QC area whereby after service, your vehicle will be sent to a QC area before release. Which is top notch for Proton I'd say. Here's a list of other SC's

I've been using 5w-40 fully-syn oil for 10k and 20k services.. so far no probs.. in fact engine noise is quieter, compared to mineral.
but I'm having a doubt if the SC really pours in the oil that I brought.. maybe they exchange with other oil, but return the empty bottle to me. (maybe the person is doing for his personal gains).. I dunno la.. just curious only.. coz customers are not allowed to enter the service bay, so cannot check.
anyway.. i realize that the SC always pour in the whole 4l of oil. when I check the dipstick the oil level is always more than the max level!
i know, older Gen2 models have bigger oil sump so that the engine needs almost 4l of oil. but persona have smaller oil sump and i the engine surely requires less than the Gen2.
similarly sized engine requires 3.5 to 3.75 litres of oil only.

my car actually have 2 problems: one dock lock did not functioned and my car odometer (current trip) cannot be reset. Can the SC repair these in my 1st car service? will it incur cost or it is still under waranty so i do not have to pay?
