Maintenance: Motul + Denso Iridium

[Yu911]

Today my fren said to me he try the new v-power, realy give more mileage to him, but not the old v-power, last time I did try the old v-power, it's same to me, may be will try the new v-power soon.
Cow, I pum up full about $115.00 to $120.00, always kosong kosong. Give me 600km, so $118.00 / 600km is about $0.196 per km, yours is $70.00 / 320km is about $0.218 haha, I got better mileage oh....
Why not we all list down our mileage here? any 1 get better?

Yu911, why don't we convert litres to 100km also so we have more ways for comparison. Maybe difficult to compare also unless we take similar long distance route.

 

[ektony]

Cow, if it is about the same might as well pump Vpower as it gives better performance and help cleans the throttle body and fuel lines.

 

[BlackSamurai]

Yu, i believe your low boost turbocharged with you better mileage.

 

[Daniel Lee]

I'm going to try out the new V-Power after I get my car. hehe...

 

[Yu911]

Today pum up v-power, $ 129.02 for 60.01 litres, looks like same to me, or even less power, may be b'coz of thinking will get better power, so feel like less power, I think is the same, will try on the mileage, my last full tank give me 611km, hope will get more.

 

[Yu911]

Full tank today, v-power also, 60.47 litres for $130.01 give me only 593km
emmmm..... not power full but $$$ Let me try this tank & see.:confused_smile:

Yu,
Are you driving constantly the same as the last fill up? What about tyre pressure and road condition. It has to be the same to do comparison. Even rainy days with watery road will severly affect the comparison.

 

[Daniel Lee]

I'm using V-Power Racing now.
Can't feel any difference in performance.
Mileage need to wait till the tank empty first.

 

[Yu911]

Every day drive from house to work, the road condition & the places I go is almost the same, if this tank can't give 650km & above will stop using it.

 

[Ace]

lets wait and see your report.

 

[Daniel Lee]

V-Power Racing is giving me poor mileage.
Shell V-Power Racing: RM0.227 per km.
Shell Super Unleaded: RM0.185 per km.
:(

 

[Ace]

daniel,
Maybe the result of heavy footed to feel the power and cause your consumption to be high? :)

Finally changed to Motul 4100 SAE 10W-40 "Turbolight" 2 weeks ago for RM116 includes labor. Oil Filter I bought frm Mr Lee for RM10.

Fuel Consumption almost the same but I noticed much better response compared to [Shell Helix Plus SAE 15W-50 + engine oil addictives-around RM18 which I was using b4 this]

However, Motul 4100 viscosity will start to change after 3,000km. Hence, it is meant for 5,000km change intervals or 3-4 months usage. I couldn't find Motul 6100 (better than Motul 4100). Need some feedback from BlackSamurai.

Heard Motul 300V is the premium and can be changed at intervals of max 12,000km or 3-4 months usage. Also very expensive (RM290 for 4 litres).

Those of you who are talking about BP or whatever brands, save some money and make switch to minimum Motul 4100. Guarantee no regrets!!! Pamper your car a bit lar, rather than spend money on your gfs...
