PROTON ISWARA LMST 1.3L: HOW TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL AND EO FILTER

Hi all,

 Since 15 year ago after own my 1st vehicle..I kept doing my vehicle service myself and usually spending the service or repair work during the weekend..I like to spend 1-2 hours time in the morning or evening to check car condition and doing the service myself if possible.

 Usually, in my case, I always maintained the duration for changing the engine oil (EO) within the recommended period/distance..

 For example, for this proton, I used Petronas semi synthetic 10w40 engine and this type of engine oil can go up to 7500km or 1 year (though Petronas EO still good even after that 7500km )..depending on the condition of our driving..If my driving is harsh for that period..usually I will change the engine oil a bit early..say 2/3 of total recommend distance..

 For my Mercedes w203, I use fully synthetic Petronas 0W40 EO which can run up to 13000km or 1 year. So, its depend on the type of EO you use and what EO manufacturer recommend
Petronas 0W40 Fully Synthetic EO

 Down here, my normal practice when doing a service for my kereta kebal. (proton iswara lmst is also know as kereta kebal in Malaysia)
Tools and stuff needed:
1) Engine oil pan
2) car jack
3) Jack stand
4) engine oil (10w-40 semi synthetic engine oil cost around RM120)
5) engine oil filter (RM10)
5)15 inch spanar
6) White tape


Procedure are listed below:

 1)Park the car on the level place and secure the rear wheel with stopper.

 2)Jack the car on the front and put the jack stand  (for safety reason, please be careful when doing the service or maintenance under the car)
jack the car on level surface

 3)Release the nut for the engine oil drain to drain the engine oil. Turn in anti-clockwise to remove the nut. prepare the engine oil pan under the drain cover.
Filter location at the front bottom right. Just behind it is engine oil drain tank
4)While wait for engine oil to empty, change the engine oil filter. you can open the filter using hand and replace with new filter, also by hand tighten. Before put new filter, clean the filter socket using clean tissue towel.

Remove old filter and clean the area before install new filter

 5) Once engine oil is empty from EO drain tank, put the drain nut back and tight at proper feeling. Dont forget to put the white tape to prevent leaking.

 6) Remove the jack stand and release the jack to level the car before filing the engine oil.

 7) Fill 3.5l engine oil into engine oil filler.

 8) write the service engine oil reminder.

 9)start the engine and leave for 3-5 minutes to observe the leaking under the car.

 ta da..now complete the engine oil change..fresh engine oil means better fuel consumption, less stress to engine,
less friction to engine..thus help longer the engine life..

 Hope this help other

      Hi, unfortunately, we cannot check gearbox oil level for lmst. But, if there is a small leak from gearbox, you can always topup the gearbox oil until it reach level with oil filling hole.

      For gearbox oil change, it is an easy work...I will write one article for it. There is one big screw under car to drain the gearbox oil. and to fill new oil at the front of gearbox (not sure the nut size). usually, I use castrol gearbox oil.

      Hope this help

HONDA RS150 TPS: RPM TAK STABIL BILA NOT ON THROTTLE DAN PENYELESAIANNYA

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera Isu TPS ni berlaku pada tahun lepas, Ogos 2020 (milage dalam 24000km, baru dua tahun pakai) sewaktu saya on the way ke KL Masa tu tunggang motor full throttle yang menyebabkan RPM nya selalu mencecah ke CUT-OFF (utk makluman, honda RS150 saya ni tak guna ECU custom, masih guna yang standard). Jadi saya perasan, bila selalu tunggang pada RPM yang sampai CUTT-OFF, ini menyebabkan kesan tak baik pada TPS..jadi utk yang belum jadi problem TPS ni..boleh la cepat ganti ECU ke ECU yang tanpa cutoff. APA TU TPS? TPS bermaksud Throttle positioning sensor..bahasa mudahnya alat ni bertujuan untuk mengesan kedudukan throttle body valve dimana udara masuk ke enjin untuk pembakaran. Dengan itu, baru la ECU tahu berapa banyak bahan bakar yang perlu utk pembakaran berdasarkan bukaan valve tu.  Bila TPS dah problem, TPS akan memberi maklumat yang salah pada ECU berkenaan besar mana valve tu buka, jadi nisbah bahan api dan udara jadi tak betul la. maka, tu yang ja...

HONDA RS150 IACV: IACV PROBLEM? RPM NAIK TINGGI BILA HIDUPKAN ENJIN?

 Hi semua, Salam sejahtera Masalah IACV saya berlaku selepas isu TPS wujud di milage 24000+km..kemungkinan kedua2nya ini saling berkait. Masalah IACV hadir ketika saya on the way balik semula ke Johor, ketika bahan bakar berkurang dari tangki moto. SIMPTOM  ? bila hidupkan enjin honda RS150 saya, RPM akan naik tinggi dan kadang2 sukar dikawal. tengah jalan pun, jika stop di trafik light, rpm akan naik tinggi dan mengaum bising..so, isu ni biasanya disebabkan IACV IACV APA TU IACV? IACV bermaksud Idle Air Control Valve. bahasa mudahnya nak control udara masuk ke ruang pembakaran sewaktu motosikal kita idle (tanpa pulas pendikit atau throttle) iaitu semasa tak bergerak. FUngsi dia mcm choke la pada motor lama yg guna karburator supaya moto mudah di hidupkan dan dalam masa sama injap dikawal dan dikecilkan bila enjin motosikal telah panas. IACV idling control valve (anak panah, lubang udara yang dikawal) APA FUNGSI IACV? Jika kita dah pulas throttle, IACV dah tak digunakan dan va...

Fig 1: bacaan halaju 80km/h dan kadar penggunaan petrol bagi honda RS150R Fig 2: bacaan halaju 90km/h dan kadar penggunaan pet...
