Ron95

[mokh]

The proposed new grade of RON95 is, nevertheless, a good compromise and should be fine for the majority of cars on Malaysian roads. This grade has been a popular one with Japanese manufacturers, possibly because in Japan, their Regular grade has been RON95 for a long time.

can anybody clarify this.. maybe altezza should be fine by RON95? i dont know...

mokh, to answer your doubts.

Hi Joe,

We can buy only two grade and disel at gas station.

Regular: 85-92 octane JPY 117/L
Premium: 98-100 octane JPY 125/L

I am using:
Premium for Harley-Davidson and my son's Kawasaki KX85(racing motorcycle).
Regular for Honda STWGN, Mitubishi-i and other motorcycle.

Regards,
Takayuki Hayase

This is what my Japanese friend answered me. I'm still asking him further questions. But from his mail I think that normal cars in Japan are also running on Regular fuel. Only those high performance bike or cars that need to run on Premium.

I used my altezza(RS200) 2 years in Japan b4 bringing it back here.Once in a while my wife would mistakenly filled it up with regular fuel (ron92).nothing got broken whatsoever but, i could feel less pick-up power when accelerating and of course more fuel consumption. I checked with some toyota guys who did the maintenance and they told me that it wont ruined the engine cause theres something in the engine (cant remember the name) that will send fuel info to the cpu and it will calculate and reset the fuel system automatically.but of course u wont get the same performances with when ur using higher ron fuel.

In our japanese manual it is stated that RS200 needs Premium Fuel and AS200 can be filled up with Regulars. It doesnt state what rons to use. In japan that is ron92 for regulars and ron98 for premium. but some say that m'sian fuel has better ron grades(additives) than what they have in japan, which might means that ron95 is good enough and can be considered as Premium Fuel. Ive been filling up my altezza with ron97 (all brands) since i got back here (2 years already) and had no problems at all with my performances. with ron95...still no experience yet.

Anyway, ive email toyota japan (a friend still works there) and got a reply that they will look in it and find out if ron95 is ok with RS200....ill update here if anything comes up.

last few weeks i've fill up my altezza with shell v-power for full tank. drove back and forth KL-Seremban.. i noticed that the engine have some knocking.. not sure whether the fuel or what not i did noticed it during that time. normally i only fill up with primax3..

any of you guys having the same problem? does i need to tune back/reset the ECU to have it running correctly with v-power?

 

[Greytezza]

I have feedbacks from some Altezza owners that Shell V-Power is not good for our car and you are paying extra for nothing. Seems Petronas petrol is of better quality and will not cause knocking in our engine...go figure:hmmmm:

 

[jasonchee98]

guys... since september is nearby, just would like to check whether can our rs200 use RON95 petrol?

 

[hornydrifter]

thats why, i hate when the press announced it is as good as ron97 and of high quality...total "tahi kerbau" la....

Hahahaha!! Total tahi kerbau...This is Funny man...nice expression on 95ron fuel..hahahaha!~

yes, it's true that v-power isn't good for the 3SGE engine as it causes knocking. For me, I've been using Esso/Mobil since I got the car, with the occassional Primax3 or Shell Super once in a while. Oh well, only a few more days before the nationwide roll out.

Weird huh? shell v-power invites engine knocking?..Is there any facts that can sapport this claim?...Cuz i used this fuel all the way, my stended daily driven waja, my vtec engine, my ex- 4g93 high compress engine..It all perform well, no knocking watsoever...it even perform better on my stended waja One drawback though....Finish faster than other brand fuel...hehehe THIS is proven lerr..mmg cpt abis..hehehe..

 

[davidgm16]

i'm trying my 1st tank of ron95 today.. used up half tank now, so far so good. didn't feel a significant power reduce so far and didn't feel any weird feeling from the engine...

 

[wfhan]

isn't the higher RON level has more anti-knock elements to prevent engine knocking ??
normally ppl chg to higher RON level because lower RON value creates knocking ....

anyhow i'll try ron95 also after this current tank utilised.

 

[vastalux]

i just fill my tank with ron95 yesterday. and its resulting some problem to my engine. very loud knocking sound. and the best thing there's no more station sell ron97 here (in bintulu). wtf...i worry my engine will blow up later..

Fellow Bros,

Do let us know the outcome from various oil companies on the performance of the RON95. I too am considering to use but afraid of engine damage and to make things worst, some petrol station doesn't carry the old RON97. I normally use Petronas Primax 3 fill up at my normal station at Subang Airport (after the NKVE Toll) but when there last Sunday and there's no more RON97 for sale.
I'm afraid that if I continue with my RON97 it would be a real hassle to find filling station.

Most petrol station stock ron95 only... having hard time find more stations with ron97.

Quick poll.. if ur tank is empty and enter a SHELL petrol stations.. find out it offers
ron95 and v-power only.. which will u pump ??
1. ron95 ?
2. v-power ?

can we all contribute and state here which area and which petrol station stock RON97 ?

 

[TitanRev]

wfhan, here's the link to all Shell station with V-power available. With the price of RON97 at 2.05 and V-Power Racing at 2.15. I think car enthusiasts like us would rather go for V-Power Racing.
