Seperti namanya, tugas utama penapis udara (air filter) adalah menyaring udara masuk ke enjin anda. Ini sangat penting untuk operasi enjin. Mempunyai penapis udara yang kotor dapat menyekat aliran udara masuk dan seterusnya mengganggu prestasi serta ekonomi bahan bakar. Jika penapis anda gagal, ia membenarkan benda asing seperti daun, habuk, dan batu-batu kecil masuk ke dalam kebuk pembakaran. Ini boleh menyebabkan kerosakan enjin. Sebab itulah mengapa penapis udara sangat penting. Terdapat pelb
Malaysia’s almost annual battle with haze is becoming especially severe this year. Several locations in Penang and Sarawak have already recorded API (Air Pollution Index) readings of over 200 (very unhealthy). The reading in Kuching is inching closer to the hazardous level of 300. Haze is contributed by microscopic size particulate matter (PM) pollutants measuring no more than 2.5 micrometers. Ordinary air filters are ineffective against PM 2.5 pollutants, which is why the public are advised to

While it has not turn apocalyptic (let’s hope there is no “yet” in this context) Malaysia is still known for sudden flash floods and they’re never pleasant to drive in. At times like these, do not drive through flooded roads! But if you are confident that the water level is low enough, here are some tips to deal with flooded roads. First things first, stop and observe if others can drive through it. Th

Setiap tahun, pasti ada musim banjir di beberapa kawasan sekitar Malaysia. Awal tahun 2021 disambut dengan kedatangan hujan lebat yang meliputi hampir seluruh Semenanjung Malaysia sepanjang hari, lagi-lagi ketika cuti hujung minggu panjang dimana ramai penduduk Malaysia merentas negeri.

Proton has made good with their promise, as the N95 filter update has now been implemented to all other Proton models like the Proton Saga, Pro
Proton ialah antara beberapa syarikat pengeluar kenderaan yang muncul pada era 80-an. Kereta pertama yang menggunakan nama Proton adalah Proton Saga. Dibangunkan berdasarkan Mitsubishi Lancar Fiore, Saga merupakan antara keunggulan Malaysia sewaktu ia dirasmikan pada tahun 1985. Untuk pengetahuan anda, sedan kompak ini dihasilkan untuk berharga mampu milik dan sesuai untuk keluarga muda. 35 tahun kemudian, ia masih relevan. Sedan ini masih memiliki kekuatan yang ada pada nama “Saga” selama ini.
The answer is no, alcohol sanitizers or plain rubbing alcohol might be good products for disinfecting our bodies and household surfaces, but alcohol will damage the material that are used to build the interior of the car. After rubbing hand sanitizer that is largely made up of alcohol on your hands you feel a distinct dryness to your skin. That’s because alcohol dries up anything it comes in contact with. Since our car interiors are made up of materials such as leather, plastics, vinyl, and poly
Introduced alongside the ‘daily friendly’ Honda Civic Type R Sport Line is the track-focused Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition, which like its name, will only be offered in limited numbers. The CTR Sport Line is meant to be a more comfortable Type R for those who plan to drive one on a daily basis. On the other hand, this CTR Limited Edition strips out all the ‘unnecessary’ items to elevate that raw driving experience. On the outside, it can be ordered with a new ‘Sunlight Yellow’ paintwork com

Proton was one of the few carmakers to emerge from the 80s (coincidentally, Geely was also part of that small batch). The first car to bear the Proton name was the Proton Saga. Based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore, the Saga was a big deal for Malaysia when it first came to fruition in 1985. Thirty five years later, the Saga remains highly relevant. The compact saloon is affordable and perfect for young families. It is a worthy successor to the “Saga” name. Having evolved over 35 years, the Saga

Apart from insurance and maintenance, another big ticket item that we have to spend on our cars is fuel. Sure, fuel price is at the lowest now due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but that doesn’t mean you are permanently immune from rising fuel cost, or you can't improve things further. As a general rule of thumb, you should always read through your car's owner’s manual and look for the recommended grade of fuel required, as well as recommended driving/maintenance habits. Here are 10 top tips from us
Amidst all the buzz surrounding the upcoming Perodua Ativa, Proton tried to divert the attention on Malaysia’s newest SUV with its launching of a quartet of limited-edition models including the Proton Iriz R3 Edition and the Proton Persona Black Edition.
