they use syntium 800 10w30 which is a fully synthetic engine oil

waiting for loan approval..hopefully i would be fast..
i want my savvy before xmas

Syntium 800 is a synthetic blend (semi-synthetic). Syntium 1000 is fully synthetic.

semi how to last 10k o?

Petronas Syntium 800 10W30 is the recommended engine oil by PESCs for our Savvy D4F engine.

If Proton can honour its warranty for engine failure as a result of using Syntium 800 for a 10,000km
oil change interval, I don't see why we should worry that modern semi-synthetic oils of equivalent specs
as Syntium 800 cannot last 10,000km.

Obviously you CAN opt to change engine oil every 5,000km. It is not going to do any harm, but is it necessary?

sorry typo

i use syntium 800 and change it every 10k. no problem

well if you want better engine , dont change it every 10k , make it 9k
as your engine is still moving even tho you are idling

ouhh.. i read from savoc about this Renaultmatic yada yada... does new savvy use this by default?

We can never be sure, so I believe it is better to be safe than sorry.
Since the fluid replacement, I have not encountered any AMT issues
up till now. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Below is an extract of the posting I did at savoc.net in early July:-
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After my 1000km first service at PESC Cheras, I went to RS Auto
the following day to do the following:-

1. Flush 'old' AMT fluid and replace with Renaultmatic D3 SYN.
Available in 1 litre pack. I don't want to take chances to
continue using what could be Proton ATF fluid.

2. Drain 'unknown' manual transmission oil and replace with
Tranself TRJ 75W/80. Used 3.4 litres of 4 1-litre bottles.

3. Clean a surprisingly dirty throttle body for a new car.
No wonder it was a bit jerky in 2nd gear previously.

Mr Hoe said no need to clean TDC sensor if I am not
experiencing cold start difficulties.

After this, no stutters or jerks, and gear shifts are very smooth
and silent in MT or AT mode.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bought Tranself TRJ 75W/80 on my own at 24.00 per 1-litre bottle.
Mr Hoe supplied the Renaultmatic D3 SYN at 40.50 ( 1-litre ), and
labour 30.00 for changing the fluids and cleaning the throttle
body with petrol. Total 166.50.

For the AMT fluid change, we sucked out the 'old' fluid (my Savvy
is an M-Line 2007 stock), replaced it with Renaultmatic the first time
with 0.4 litre for flushing. Drove round Bandar Puteri a couple of
times using manual mode to work out the robotic clutch and let
the new fluid circulate and mix with the old fluid. After that, we
sucked out the fluid again and filled up the AMT reservoir with
the remainder 0.6 litre of Renaultmatic.

Quite significant difference before and after the fluid change.
Other than the butter smooth gear shifts, the famous krukk
krukk sound of the AMT robot is very muted so much so I
hardly notice it now.

Great first time 'mod'. I now have peace of mind and no regrets.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

extra money=performent=quiet engine=5-35,40,45(fully synt) ... =)

but sm sc use 10w50.

Yes dude, Tranself TRJ is a semi-synthetic manual gearbox oil
recommended for our Savvy. Quite expensive at RM24 per litre.

I am not sure what Proton used...could be some generic mineral
gearbox oil that comes in the usual 205-litre drum. Don't want to
take the risk, so I changed the gearbox oil as well.

Gearshifts are so smooth now after the change. Can hardly feel it.

For the Renaultmatic D3 SYN hydraulic fluid for the AMT, I did
not DIY. Mr Hoe of RS Auto in Bandar Puteri, Puchong did the
flushing and fluid replacement using an electrical pump to suck
out the old fluid from the AMT plastic tank. Read my previous
posting again how I drive around Bandar Puteri to work out
the robotic clutch before sucking out the 0.4 litre Renaultmatic
flushing fluid and replace with new 0.6 litre (AMT capacity).

I don't recommend DIY, too tedious. Just pay RM20 for the
Renault specialist to do it.

i know one shop here where they hv the sucking machine too.

ic. i donno la. but from savoc our gearbox oil memang already tranself. no need to change. only our amt proton pandai2 use their own oil.

so how much u pay for mr hoe services including fluid?

puchong aar? not familiar with those area. but sound too good to be true. hurm. mind giving me full address?

I am sure the gearbox oil is not Tranself.

Looking at my first service bill, PESC charged me RM20.00 for 2.5 litres of GL4-90W gearbox oil.
Straight away I had it changed to Tranself TRJ 75W/80 at RS Auto the next day.

The address is:-

No. 7, Jalan Puteri 5/3,
Bandar Puteri,
47100 Puchong, Selangor.

Tel: 03-80631389 / 012-2365520 Mr Hoe

Please refer to my previous post for the costs. Read properly first la.....

actually, i just realize u edy mention the costs. sorry abt that. cos i am kindda got other things to do.

wait,
i dont understand the bolded part.

why would pesc charge u for a gearbox oil at 1st place?

ot: haih. money money. where can i find ya.

I didn't realise that they had changed the manual gearbox oil
until I reached home and had a closer look at the 1st service bill.

I called up the SA concerned and he confirmed that they had
indeed changed the gearbox oil to their "standard", whatever that means.
I was fuming that they had done it without my consent.

But is it OK I wouldn't have replaced it with Tranself TRJ and
experienced the smooth gearshifts if I was not aware that they have
fed my baby with their "standard" cheapo gearbox oil.

u should avoid that sc la. pandai2 change gear oil.

u changed gearoil in ur 1st service?? the 1000km service???
