Suitable petrol for our Beauty
Hi All
Which petrol do u guys use? I will be getting my ride next week!!! damn!!! gonna be a heck of a long week. But not sure which petrol to use. Is shell 98 ok? heard caltex will be better. Is that true? |
95 can liao
|
nfs, is your 8 a Euro spec from MM or JDM from PI? Euro spec can run on 95, JDMs better to use 98. Fuel giving better mileage cost more so works out to be the same. Just pick a brand that you can get good discounts or one that is conveniently located near your place.
|
Got my ride last week. can use V-Power?
|
Cannot! Can only use caltex with techron.
|
Dunno fi tis a myth or what. some people say use v-power the apex seal will break/leak or something like that. so wanna check see v-power can use or not
|
I've been using V-Power from day 1 of ownership (4months now)..... No problems whatsoever !!!! As a matter of fact, there is a significant power difference between regular 97Ron 'vs' 100Ron (new V-Power Racing)....... I tried Caltex Techron, Esso F1, Petronas........ Finally went back to V-Power coz of the better power and much racier exhaust note....... BTW, mine is the Type S JDM 6Speed manual version fitted with FUJITA ENGINEERING (FEED) EXHAUST & AutoEXE Plug Cables....... Some ppl warned me against using V-Power...... I don't see the problem though......In Japan, fuel used there is 100Ron, soooo...... wouldn't V-Power be the same as what u get in Japan? I could be wrong though....... maybe there's something in the V-Power fuel formula that is detrimental to the renesis engine???? For now..... till i believe otherwise, i'll continue pumping the new V-Power Racing 100Ron fuel...... Very noticable power difference :Eyecrazy:
|
I don't mean to be skeptical, but if you can hear a "much racier exhaust note" just from using a different petrol, then you must have superb hearing. Or maybe I should just turn down the volume on my I.C.E. In any case, I have not heard anything bad about using V-Power other than it cost more.

Just my personal view and experience and I only meant to share. I Prolly shud just shut-up and not share next time (which defeats the purpose of this forum). I won't comment on ICE since that just isn't my thing. Thx anyways for being more civilised........ |

Also, the flat spot between 8000-9000rpm is much improved......

Just ignore which ever morons in here with their insults or name calling.......even some or alot of the tuners here are not even well versed with what they are doing as well.... So giving our 2 cents worth is fine, as no one here has the certified calibre to say whats right or wrong.... :) |

dun be stupid mean..u are not stupid so dun act stupid. :rock: |
CoupeM, I think youre stupid enuff to think that Mr Lift didnt meant that effie was stupid in the first place to act stupid.
I NOT STUPID III |
This is the internet, man. People just take things too seriously around here :Freak_ani
|
Oh and I use Shell hijau (don't know it's fancy name :p: )
|
I'm driving MM 6MT and tried all the top tier fuels. Have to say the smoothest one of them all has to be Caltex Platinum.
I've noticed less engine vibrations, less engine 'knocking' and accelaration is silky smooth. Only thing I dont get is how some of you get 420km+ outta one full tank. Full tank for me is roughly about 90+ bucks before discount and it will last me around 350km only. Not that I mind the fc too much but it would be nice to be able to squeeze a little more out of a full tank. |
