I'm a proud owner of pearl white K5...one week old

What petrol brand is recommended? currently using ron97 and by Shell
Is Shell okay...or better use BHP, Caltex, Petron etc....?

Just try pumping until almost overflowing (but not overflowing yet) and ull see what i mean. Its quite simple actually.

Using Ron 97 for a car designed to run on Ron 95 is almost a complete waste.

noted bro...which brand do you recommend?

Im not an expert in petrol station tank design but i think it doesnt quite make sense for the fuel itself to be drawn back into the station's tank as all pumps are equipped with a backflow stop valve. Thats why the pump always cuts off when the vapour increases beyond a certain level or when the sensor at the end of the pump picks up fuel.

Are u sure? I thought these are the mood lights which are on full time but its practically non existent since its so dim.

not sure if true but it's mentioned to avoid pouring petrol afternoon or when weather is hot...this causes higher vapor content
recommend to pour during cooler condition (morning or night)

Currently the best Ron 95 fuel in the market is the new BHP Infinity Advance 2X. Its a Euro 3 fuel while all other fuels in Malaysia are still Euro 2. Ive tried it and its quite good. But sadly, i have to stick to Shell due to company policy. Damn!

Yes this is true. Most of my fuel ups are either at night or early morning. But once in a while if you need to fill during the day, then its not gonna make much difference in my opinion.

Hahaha! Same here too...

Is this really true? There are differences using BHP? My company policy only requires me to pump RON95, but did not state what petrol brand. However, it is quite difficult sometimes to find BHP stations compared to Shell.

Just outta curiosity, if i'm going abroad for 10days, should i left me petrol tank full or empty? does it even matter?

i dont think any issue to left your tank full, but wat more important is the battery... discharge your car battery cable that connected to your battery if possible.. have a safe trip dude

Seriously?? The black cable tht connects to the car battery??

I don't think it matters. Never tried yet for my K5. But my previous cars, Honda and Proton....all no issue.

Now I'm curious...why need to do that?

Hi Cybermaster98,

I'm much perturbed that I can't fill more than 65Litres into the fuel tank to minimize the number of times I have to visit the petrol station.

How did u managed to do it?
Btw, if all else fails, could you kindly screenshot a copy of your receipt on your 80Litres of petrol so I could actually bring it up to Naza-Kia
and check on my fuel tank capacity.

They could've installed a wrong one on my ride though.

Cheers!

thats my workshop told me to practice that in order for your battery life goes longer... and battery need to recharge by ignite your car engine... im not sure about new car, but one of my gen2 and iswara had to practice that, or else the battery will die in 5 days time (and i need to jump start using jumper), maybe some of the electrical component is still running such as clock/ alarm and etc.. thus, it consume the battery .. and battery might dry out total if too long never start your car engine..

emm.. interesting. I think i'll pull out the whole battery. Jst in case. Haha!

this is even better dude, u can prevent your car get stolen .. but one thing is leceh about disconnect the battery.. everytime u connected back... you need to tune back some setting of your car, depend on car, as for K5, i think clock and radio station in your memory will need to tune back..the rest should be ok
