nope..dont think so....but some road like certain part of nkve not really vibrate but federal highway got vibrate.....any tires price around rm180-220??? wana change the front only....solve the vibration...   furthermore going PD....if drive 100km vibrate really sien..lor

i prefer good grip and tire that will maintain its quality even used up till 50%......the ori conti cc1 fitted along is  ......when its new, ok...but after 1year of usage...the tire became uneven more to the thread and rubber which causes the vibration to happen...
so along now, im thinking of changing to primacy/ pilotpreceda 2/ c.drive/ s-drive(if within my range/ or any tire which suits my budget (rm180-rm230)++

wow.. almost maximum speed..
btw, at which highway?

Let the brake settle-in first. In a month or so, if still not very "makan", change pad lor.

Hey dARKaNGEl,

I presume your 2nd service is 5,000KM? If its 5000KM service, I'd recommend you to use a semi-syn first because your next appointment would be at 10,000KM and its your *last* labour free service. After 10,000KM, use a fully synthetic (because 15,000KM no free service, you'll need to pay for labour about RM60+), thus straightaway jump to 20,000KM major service which will be a pretty expensive one.

You might ask why waste so much money on fully synthetic? Because there are value for money FSes out there - Bardahl (RM78), Penzoil, BHP (RM120-130+), Tesco Shell Ultra (RM135) and Carrefour Mobil 1 (RM 140+). Make sure to get SM grade. It is so much cheaper to get a FS that is good for 10,000KM, rather than buying 2 bottles of Syntium (RM98 x 2 = RM196) that is only good for 5000KM each. Besides, if change at 5,000KM also incurs additional labour charge, which is pretty expensive at PE SC, EON and even authorized SC.

Hope the math isn't too confusing

Morning dARKaNGEl,

Mobil products have been working good for me, including their lubes and petrol (Synergy F1 works best in my Persona). As for Mobil Super S 10w40, yes I've tried it and its pretty good. If you've just switch from Syntium with viscousity of 15w50, you'll immediately notice that the engine runs noisier and revvy happy upon switching to 10w40 oil. 40 weight is noticeably lighter than 50 weight oil. FC wise, pretty subjective for me as the difference is not that dramatic.

As for Castrol, I assume you're thinking of the Magnatec. I haven't personally tried it, but some said its good (maybe because of the BP DNA in it). Castrol is BP's flagship lube so it must have some of the engineering goodies dedicated to them. However, if I'm not mistaken the Magnatec is a premium mineral oil, and not a synthetic blend/ semi-synthetic lubricant.

Price wise, I believe both are priced at around RM97. Any sifus with better lube background care to give more comments?

im using mobil super s 10w40....so far after 3000km++ of usage still good....u can try it if u want..... ...and i will do the next oil change after 6500km or 7000km of usage

Just want to share my disappointment of my persona & proton
Basically what am I going to highlight here are quality issues (again & again..)
I don’t want to write much..just list down the problem from day 1 till now (my persona only 4 months old..why got so many problem!!) 

1. handbrake..can’t fully released..problem solved..
2. both front alloy rim cap came off…bought 2nd hand at tyre shop 
3. nyek..nyek sounds from rear seat’s locks..problem solved..DIY
4. the famous clunking + nyek..nyek sounds...the clunking sound still persist with a bit improvement after replace insulator.. 
5. bad radio reception..no solution yet..get used to it already..
6.  engine hard to start (sometimes) + loud sound engine (like old taxi)..going to replace the IAFM soon (only 4 months old..IAFM out already!) 
7. noise when braking..problem solved..done brake service
8. faulty of volume controller at steering..problem solved..replace new switch..
9. air cond system sometimes on/off..no solution yet..
10.  interior light faulty..don’t know whether circuit  problem or bulb problem..going to complain at SC soon.. 
11. weird sound while turn down/up window (driver side)..might be power window problem.. going to complain at SC soon..

Not sure whether you guys face the same problem..or I’m just the unlucky one..
Fed-up la with proton quality… 

i dunno to call this a problem or not..coz my fuel gauge meter will drop faster to 'E' when the fuel remaining one bar..izzit normal? 

i go to Sec13, PJ. i know that glenmarie and mutiara damansara don't allow customers to bring their own oil.
