There is 1 refinery train in Malacca right that produces almost zero sulfur content. I know they export those diesel to California.

Bro where did you get your source from?

Pearl GTL based on your advice via Google, it all links to Gas liquification. I know in Bintulu there is also where Petronas Gas Berhad has their plants there as well.

What has that got to do with petrol or diesel with almost zero sulfur or ULSD?

GTL = Gas to Liquids....meaning converting Gas back to liquid.in conventional way, petroleum products are produce thru fractional distillation of crude oil and u will get gas, jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene,diesel, lub and bitumen... the plant in sarawak is known as Shell MSD Sdn Bhd...a plant with multi capabilities..

I use Caltex cuci engine... tongue.gif

Other than that, I find BHP to be most favourable. biggrin.gif

Same here. Would pump Caltex every once in a while for their Techron cleansing additive. Otherwise it's BHP for their Euro 3 petrol.

Pump caltex every once in a while will help to clean engine? Effective ka? Or is it need to use Techron regularly only effective?

Based on your car, Caltex and BHP, which one gives better FC?

In Malaysia the Techron additive can't be bought separately. Only way to get it is pump Caltex petrol

FC-wise both are more or less the same for me.

I just feel smooth... tongue.gif I fill up my car from Caltex as it's nearby my home, so why not? tongue.gif

Can't say which gives better FC as I don't monitor em, but my butt dyno feels that BHP gives plenty of "kick" to my ride.

Tried on PLUS highway with similar driving style/condition, KL to Penang using BHP and back to KL with Caltex. BHP tends to give me slightly better mileage from the ODO meter of about 0.5km/L.

I tried the Caltex RON97, it gives me the worst ever milage for my forte. after 2 pump trial I went back to Petron 97 and it is much better.
