was told about the techron reasoning... will need to scout for a station soon when need for topup... else go back to da station near to Quill..
overall BHP serves me well and i only patronise a similar station, can't say about others coz did not use any of them...
B5 for me its the same as normal diesel, din notice any lagging in the turbo kick in (as claimed by others) and the FC is still consistently the same... so should be good qua...
wait till i try caltex....


Same discovery on B5. No difference in my usual turbo kick nor a reduction in FC. To conclude, similiar if not d same as regular diesel minus d sulphur smellin fumes

my choice of diesel would be either caltex or bhp. third would be petronas (if fuel not enough la)
caltex for better low n mid torque + techron additives, and BHP for lesser black soot.
i guess all my stations i fill up are already switching to B5 though

much a lot better fuel usage compare with pectrol motor.
Bad thing would be that you must provider more often.
