Car ecu remapped to accomodate Ron 95. So, not much difference in using Ron 97

I'm using ron97 most of the time. Only pumped a few tanks of 95 the whole 2.5 yrs I've had my car.

1) Cos 97 is euro4m.
2) More resistant to knocking.

If the engine tuning don't support higher for such RON rating, putting higher RON petrol is no difference then regular fuel. It is akin like driving a ferrari at 110km/h speed limit; can go higher but limited.

At really hot temperatures, it is slightly more noticeable, but really not worth it. I even tried RON100 before, the difference also can be felt slightly at really hot weathers. But the engine revving sound was a little different.

The only real benefit for RON97 is for the lower sulfur content, which can slightly extend engine oil life and lesser sulfur dioxide emissions.

How much they charge for the carbon cleaning service? RM300?

There is definitely added cleaning and lubricating additives. But as you say, the end result is quite "dubious", not really worth the money.

In actual fact, the current factory tune still didn't fully take advantage of RON95. Can further advance the spark timing and some added VVT mapping to increase power, torque and responsiveness.

If you want to pump RON 97 you can get your ECU tuned for RON 97 and get a bit more power but you will not be able to pump RON 95 unless you revert the tuning.

This was FOC for me, not sure how much a bottle.
They just passed me the bottle at 20k service and asked me to pump premium petrol.

You mean they passed you the empty threebond bottle?

AH no, its this one.

Oh this one, it is more like fuel system cleaner, or intake/injector cleaner, not exactly effective in cleaning the intake side carbon deposits as skyactiv engine direct injected, the fuel don't directly touch the intake valves.

But not bad lar.....give you free....my side diam saja....some more advertise threebond cleaning (of course with extra charges)....

Not true, even Mazda high compression is tuned for minimum Ron 95. If you in doubt, read your car user manual.

three bond how many milleage its good to do one and how much the charge?

They will definitely recommend do using threebond at every service interval.

I just saw the banner, didn't ask about the detail. I estimate should be about RM200 - 300.

Hi, just wondering how long does mazda cars engine last? As in does the performance drops dramatically after, for example 5 years? Has anyone been driving a Mazda 2/ Mazda 3 for that long to verify? Are there a lot of problems which would crop up after few years? Hope some owners can let me know. Thank you.

hi mazda 3 high sedan white colour still available ?

anyone know when the new mazda 3 possible will come out? i saw internet teasing all the 2019 version but when will malaysia get it? Planning to get a car end of the year but still looking at option among c-seg as well as SUV. How is the NVH of the current mazda 3?

Can someone advise what's the FC for m3? Rm 40 petrol hw far cn u go for 100% City drive? My car is killing with only 150-180km for 40 bucks of petrol

Full tank around 380km.

noted on this..

what are the options if do outside? sorry i'm car noob first time buying car.

was recommended Lumar / 3M (i think) by a friend.. saying that these 2 brands are like the rolls royce of window tinting..

how much should i standby for the tinting? is rm3k sufficient?

def not so soon, next year announce of new sky-X engine, all new m3 expected end of 2019 or 2020, landed in MY could be even longer


full tank avg run me >550km with ron97 full city drive, depend on driving behavior

Do aware of some tint are too strong until smart tag could not be detected, best consult the shop before getting those high end tint

I'm using raytech MX, not the best in heat prevent but still ok for the price, no issue on smart tag

the latest mazda gvc still endure the infamous suspension sound or fixed already ?

Based on 180km and RM40 your FC is 10L/100km which is on the high side for 100% city drive but not so high that you should be worried. Try adjusting your driving style to accelerate slower. Get rid of any unnecessary dead weight in your car.

Can tell you this, its still not fixed
