 2nd tank le... nothing special similar to Shell 98 but instead felt a slight lost in power :( don't know why?

I've googled it and the info found online suggests otherwise... Read quite a few things... There are even press releases saying that it's fine...

manual says NO... so warranty at risk.

technically i also think its should be ok...but since plenty of choices no point putting warranty at risk.

yes... but not caltex... rest of diesel up north is just euro2/3 standard, rest has no biodiesel in them... caltex has a biodiesel mix in their diesel.

fair enough lah... no point risking it with the suspect diesel from Caltex M'sia! there are so many other options , like Shell. anyways, I was similarly advised by my Wearnes tech and SA that we shd pump diesel in M'sia only if die-die necessary. and even so, just pump enough to get us back home. M'sia Diesel is currently not the Euro IV standard.

 hi chiaster,

 

Do you know which brand has best diesel, follow by discount? I read caltex website, no mention of discount for diesel...

Does that mean the jaguars in MY is engineered different from the resr, ie to accept euro 2/3 graded diesel instead of standard diesel 4/5?

I reckon that all diesels are the same in SG... Have been on ESSO since day 1 with my 2.2 and so far so good...

All the same lah... Came from the same factory... Not reasonable for them to "engineer" different ones just for MY...

You should try caltex diesel, more power compare to SPC and Shell - my observation

14% discount plus x number of rebate (cannot remeber), I am more concern the perofrmance rather than discount / rebate

Caltex has got bio elements (supposedly not good for our rides) in their diesel and I avoid it when up north... Not sure about the SG variant though... Perhaps I'd try it one of these days...

I am pumping SPC 98.. And can reach 650km for a full tank easily.. Else, always at 500+km range. Ex ride of range rover, also SPC 98, can reach 550km for full tank.. I never pump shell.. Paying for brand only..

I pay anything that is convenient... I really can't tell any difference in ride quality or FE across the brands... Even did RON92 before...
Maybe just me, but right now Caltex is most suitable for me... Plus they having lucky draw of BMW 316i! Plus they give you 4D numbers... innovative sia...

if your car is tuned up, you should use RON98 because that's how the tuned up is based on. Given that car usually de-tuned from factory, using RON95 is not a problem but personally I won't go down this path since the saving is not significant

Non of the jags here have been tuned, I think... At most it's a piggyback... RON95 is still good to go... It's not about the $ but the feel of the drive... Go try it to be convinced... :)

Using cash or nets will have 10% discount.

I just learnt something today at Caltex on diesel. 

If you pay by credit card, 5% discount.

If you pay by cash or nets, 10% discount. 

I should have read this post more carefully. It will be cash onwards!

 Chiaster, zenkinz, do you mean that a tuned car cannot use 95 and must use 98? Does it differ between an NA and turbo?

I wonder if this applies at ESSO too because I have been using cash/nets since I got my jag!

No diff between NA or turbo but the general idea is that if a car has been tuned, there is extra stress applied on its components so a higher octane fuel is preferred... Other gurus, please correct me if I'm mistaken...

a car ecu controls actuators (fuel quantity, ignition timing, valve timing, etc) by reading the appropiate sensor parameters (throttle position, mass air flow, etc) and looking up the apropiate values based on the data map. this is also the reason why I prefer a ecu-reflash than a piggyback. 

Octane of the fuel determines the ability for the fuel to be compressed before it denotates, so its one of the consideration of the ecu tuning. While cars in Europe are usually designed in factory to be able to accept higher octane fuel, they are often detuned to cater for oversea market where high grade fuel are either not commonly available, or expensive.

This is the same for both NA and turbo car, but NA car are less tunable so tuning is usually not available.
