Car Service

I sending my car for service today at service centre close to my house. This time I change the engine oil and the oil filter. It cost me about RM120.00. I use March 5 lubricant oil for my engine.
I also use proton original parts fr my oil filter.

As you know, to make my proton car running smoothly, I regularly change the engine oil for every 5,000 kilometer. So my car run nice on the road. In the market there a lot of engine oil. We can choose from semi synthetic engine oil to fully synthetic engine oil.

Full synthetic engine oil was made from special blend, so that this engine oil can last for 10,000km. However the price is very expensive for me. Therefore I always used semi synthetic engine oil.

Perodua launching new special edition Myvi

Yesterday Perodua launching a special edition of Perodua Myvi SE. This new car with a new image and look more aggressive is targeting young generation market. I have heard a lot about Perodua Myvi. It is the most seller able car in Malaysia today.

What about proton ?.Yup proton back to same selling strategy, because this year Malaysia will celebrating 50 years of independence, proton were offering it's old model Proton Saga at a very discounted price !. I think about RM26,000.00. !. Is this proton right strategy ?.

I think mmm... it's not. Now a days proton are losing its market share to the competitors. I know for sure it is because the quality of car they produce !. The proton car that not meet the consumer satisfaction. Yes I know that from my own experience.

Therefor , with the increase of fuel prices and the very good offer from Perodua Myvi, I thinking changing my proton Waja to Perodua Myvi !. However I also aware that in the market today there a lot of products that can be used to reduce the fuel consumption of one's car.

Sometimes they call this products as fuel saver. I think should used a fuel saver rather than buying a new car. Fuel save can comes in many ways. Some fuel saver product need you to add that special chemical at certain amount when you refueling the gas or petrol or diesel.

Other fuel saving product, need to be fitted to your car. This look like car booster and it will give more power to your car, while consuming less fuel.

Tinted Window

My car has a tinted glass window. People said that once you tinted your window, your car be more cooler and this can save a lot of petrol when you using an air conditions while driving your car.

This is true. How ever when you want to tinted your car window, please choose a good quality products because if you are using low quality tinted film, you have trouble in the future because this film have tendency to crack or even peel off by the time.

Today there is a new type of tinted available in the market. One of them is using nanotechnology such as liquid coating on the window glass thus giving a good protection for sunlight and other harmful rays such as UV rays.

This type of film coating will not crack or peel of by the time because with the nanotechnology, the coating will bind and stick to the car window glass properly and effectively. I personally recommend this type of tinted.
