Shell Optimax

[paul1087]

u may remember my previous post about my dodgy idle and being told to
replace my idle speed stepper motor..

well today i decided to fill up with optimax because i'd never seen it before
and thought why not...

well. my idle is much smoother and quiter hasnt done the near stalling thing
once and pulls nicer accross the revs!

u can still feel it a tiny bit but its nowhere near as bad at idle now,, well
chuffed!

anyone else had good experiences with optimax??

i'v used shell optimax and found it to be better then regular 95 in my vtr. iv been experimenting and have tried bp ultimate, shell optimax, tesco 99, and esso supreme 97 the last few times i have tanked up. i'v stuck with esso supreme for now. seems 2 do the trick nicely

[darrensvtr]

yeah i now use the tesco 99 coz its cheaper than the shell optimax and seems beter.

[ppavli]

ye i try n use teco 99, but if i cant get to tesco i use the shell optimax

shell optimax all the way, car sounded rough before using it, now it sounds like a dream very smooth!!! careful on the motorway ( watch that needle fall!!!)lol, other than that very good.

not sure but on other cars to get better performance if you reset the ecu it get the full out out of the petrol as your car was use to running the common stuff.
well thats wat they do on celica gt4 ne way

i just run normal petrol mate as i have found that using shell or super unleaded seemed to give my car a big misfire for some reason,i tried it out for about 1 week and it was coughing all the time

i had a bit of spare cash so put some in at shell c what happens in a few weeks my car worth it lol

[dirt_geezer]

lol dreamers only helps me jap car uk cars dont benifit, lads its an illution

[grantsp51]

it does help normal cars but only makes a difference on high performance cars
a used the normal petrol for a while then tried the optimax couldnt feel a difference but car sounded better

[mark_saxo]

i use bp ultimate unleaded

[WestyVTR]

the hand book says the saxo should be run on 98ron fuel anyway!! smileys/smiley2.gif

[al_VTR]

Haynes manual refers to both 95RON & 98RON. i've been running Optimax for a couple of months now, not sure if theres any difference. going to go back to normal unleaded soon & see

[WestyVTR]

the thing is tho Citreon use TOTAL as there fuel provider & TOTAL do not do a 98ron fuel.....smileys/smiley5.gif
