Actually being told by Proton SA that its just stick on it only. The engine also 1.3. Just to cheat guy like us, haha.

What the recommended engine oil for the 1st 1000km service & how much? Its it better to self bring engine oil or purchase from the sc?

Thats mean at my 1st 1000km service use mineral engine oil, then following 5000km service then use semi synthetic.

Anyway anyone know the price for normal mineral oil and semi synthetic oil?? And which brand be the best with the best price tag?

I drive MT, I feel like the accelerate pedal response like a bit slow especially in 1st & 2nd gear. The rpm go very high when change from 1st to 2nd.

2 DAYS. Normally I drive Kancil MT.

Anyway for new car, what need to be take note or to be careful?

Sure show to us, also to alert we the new BLM owner to be careful when driving, don't mass up our brand new Saga BLM. Quite hurt to see new car smash.

My new BLM Manual already 200km, from full tank, only use up 2 bar only. I'm aiming for 400km for a full tank. I rarely pick up (speed up) the car, let it slowly gain speed.

BTW, anyone know will it spoil the car if I let free gear at the slope?

Not sure what fuel using as it pump by the SA, I just got the car for few day. I really don't press the pedal, just enough to drive the car. Anyway from my understanding its doesn't mean it use less fuel if maintain 2k rpm, the FC are control by your right leg. As it you are driving up hill but using 4th gear, sure the rpm <2k, but you press more fuel than usual. I drive at 80km/h at 2.5k rpm, but I just touch the pedal that enough to maintain the speed.

I think good control of your right leg and gear shifting is a crucial to lower the FC.

BTW You really rev the car, 4.5k rpm really high. You must driving fast.

Added on March 26, 2009, 11:04 amI think it doesn't matter, as you don't run the engine or left the engine idle mean nothing change in the oil. Think again, how to do with the Proton stock/ the show room car which already idle for more then 2 month. They rare move the car or not drive at all. Does they need to service every month even though the engine rarely run?

Sure when I free gear sure I wanna speed up without the pull by the engine, especially come to toll, need to slow down or come to a traffic light . (Even 5th gear will slow the car) Like that can save more fuel.

Then I think you must press a lot of throttle while driving, try get use to the gear. Last time I drive Kancil 660, a under power car, I must fully get use to the gear in order to gain speed, otherwise no matter how much fuel u press it won't accelerate(if u r in a not suitable gear at that speed).

Kancil I able to get FC RM0.10/km for city drive. 50% traffic jam.

For sure you are a fast & furious guy, then no choice gonna paid the price loh, lol.

Anyway as I said, it doesn't mean u shift gear at 2k rpm is saving the fuel, main thing is how much u press the fuel. Likewise, when u in free gear, just touch the pedal, the rpm can go up to 3k plus rpm. Its doesn't mean it take more fuel, but burn efficiency in the max. I think most case of high FC are cause by poor burning efficiency(u stress the engine for power).

You are really good! Might to share you secret of fuel saving? BTW normally how long you travel for working?

I travel from Cheras inside Tmn Connaught to PJ Kelana Jaya take >1hour to arrived office. Lucky not work in Shah Alam.

What do you mean by the ecu cut off fuel supply?? and saving petrol at same time?

Cause when u which to 5th gear, sure it will slow down your car by little little bit.

Just like to know what time you leave Pandan Indah and time arrived Glenmarie??

You are fast man, we travel the same route everyday ha ha, but you're since faster then me, I leave at 7.20am only arrived at office 8.32am.

Just a lot of traffic light at SS2 that slow me down.

Anyway need to leave home b4 7.15am in order arrived office on time. Otherwise everyday need to stay back to compensate the late.

Wah, my new BLM 1st full tank only run for 300km then fuel blind already. Its this cause by the engine not break in yet?

Which petrol is best recommend for breaking the engine? And What brand and type of engine oil is recommended for the 1st 1000k service? I saw the manual said must use the 20w50 oil.

I think you can go sc to claim the tinted warranty, as it also come with 5yrs warranty

Like to know what the cost for the 1st service? They charge for what item? If I bring my own mineral engine oil?

Ya lah, extra RM1.5k got immobilizer, the truck tray, truck lid and door visor also very nice.

But I think major change for N-Line may void the warranty. Some more it only come white colour (provided ur B-line currently is white then no different). I bought myself Blue M-line MT, if I choose auto there is a further RM1.5k discount for 08 model, sigh there no more left MT for 08 model.
