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

 

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.

 

don be stupid lah, v power is still ron 97.

 

Who ur calling STUPID????? I DIDN'T CALL U STUPID !!!!!!!! Forums don't need ppl like u !!!!!! WTF !!!!!!!!!!

 

wa...I.C.E.....whats your setup man? sounds good le

 

Ur definately one of the REGULAR forumers who hides by using an ALTERNATIVE screen name just to DISS ppl....... Like ur name suggests...... Ur intelligence is LIMITED to LIFTS !!!!!!! Don't expect to say RUDE things without being aptly replied in a RUDE manner by person on recieving end !!!!!!!!! Uve really PISSED me offf............ Lemme guess........ Ur Singaporean........ Arrogant and RUDE.....

I didn't log on to make enemies......BUT....... Here NEWS !!!!!!! Uve just got one !!!!!!!!!

*Note;

I have a lot of Singaporean neighbours and friends and in no way does what i say reflects the attitude of all Singaporeans.....BUT......However, in every country there are BAD apples whom tarnish their own country by saying SILLY and RUDE things......... Lemme say Sorry first if i have offended anyone other than whom i intended........ I hate waking up in the morning being DISSED on this FORUM !!!!!!!

 

Appreciate ur constructive comments..... at least it isn't rude. What i meant to say is that Revs build up faster using V-Power fuel which in turn makes the exhaust note kind of different at certain revs (especially between 4000-7000rpms)....... Also, the flat spot between 8000-9000rpm is much improved......

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........

 

Hey fren, sharing is fine, not to worry....

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....

 

effie...i dunno who is lift-intelligent but just want to point out that he did not call u stupid. all he said was DUN BE stupid.

 

Thanks guys for the feedback. CopueM, u use 95? Is it ok for the engine? I was told minimum should be 98. By the way, mine is 6AT, JDM. I thinking of using 98 but if 95 is ok, then i will consider using 95......

Effie, dun be so worked up ya. Dun think lift-intelligence means any harm....perhaps a slip of his fingers or something....no one wants to come to forum to make others angry....we are all 8 owners....should be together!!!

 

If he said dun be stupid; its explicitly implying efie is stupid.

 

ok i m sorry for being so direct =(
but u, as a malaysian, how come don know vpower is still 97....

 

JDM must use 98. Only euro spec can use 95. Pls stick to 98. Thank you.

 

dun be stupid mean..u are not stupid so dun act stupid.

 

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

 

Oh and I use Shell hijau (don't know it's fancy name )

 

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.

 

nfs, since your 8 is JDM, please stick to 98. Don't be stupid and use 95. Ha ha.. Sorry to use u to lighten up the tension here... Apologise 1st if you are offended, but since u didn't use 95 that means u not stupid lor.
