The 1.3L Dual VVT-i is Perodua’s fuel-efficient entry-level engine, offering adequate performance for city driving with excellent fuel economy.

Oil grade note: Perodua’s own service oil is SAE 5W-30 semi-synthetic, and the Myvi fluids page is built on that grade. Earlier versions of this page carried an unverified 0W-20 claim, which contradicted the fluids page. Confirm the grade printed in your owner’s manual before an oil change, and note Perodua service centres typically fill 5W-30.

Verified against the Myvi fluids page and Perodua genuine oil listing for 5W-30 semi-synthetic, checked 2026-10-26.

Power and torque peaks, including the 4,000 rpm torque peak (this page carried 4,200 rpm until it was checked), come from the 16 November 2017 spec-by-spec comparison on paultan.org, checked 2026-11-01.
