Shell Optimax because of Coles 4c discount. I find I get better fuel consumption on the 98 octane fuels so in my opinion that little extra you pay at the pump works out even steven at the end.

best to search this topic but I use BP Ultimate since it has been available to be here in Wollongong, thinking about changing to Caltex Vortex 98 to see the difference and get the 4c/l discount from Woolies. I now refuse to use Shell Optimax...

i use slhell optimax becoz its been proven u get more octance in optimax rather than the other petrols in the market.

who told you that? SHELL???

RON is not a measure of the amount of octane it is actually a measure of the rate of detonation of the fuel (how else do you get 100-110 RON fuels???). What Shell does to raise the octane rating of it's petrol is add Toluene to it's 94 RON premium, BP Ultimate is refined to 98 RON not altered post production to that level...

I used to think that optimax made my car go better tilll I tried ultimate. It's that much better again as far as performance is concerned.

I agree...

Sport!vo, posting a post like that makes the whole thing even more irritating. a simple one-liner would have been suffucent...

And besides - I like Shell Optimax for the 4c/Litre & Flybuys...

Yeah I tryed the IGA trick once too but with the increased shelf price they have the $2 a tank saving gets eaten away in no time...

To answer the question on 98 RON 1 tank and normal Unleaded for a couple and back to 98 RON, this may work well for a standard 1ZZ rolla but for the Sportivo anything less the 94 RON is detrimental to the engine and CANNOT be used. You will also find as 1ZZ-FE stated I think, I not going back to look after all of sport1vo's cr@p (cheers for that Dude!!! <_< [sarchasm]) 98 RON detonates slower then 91 and 94 RON so has a benifit of lower fuel consumption so the extra $2 you spend to fill the tank with the better quality fuel pays for itself in the long run through the life of the tank...

BP Ultimate 98.

I've got Mobil, BP & Caltex within 400m of each other.

Haven't tried the NEW Vortex, because the OLD one was only 95 RON. I've been told the NEW Vortex is 98.

I'll try it out next time, heard some positive results.

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?

      MWR Oil Pump

      My new Monkeywrench Racing Oil pump came in the mail last week ago, which had been shipped from RideRound.nl in the Netherlands. Does anyone know anything about Monkeywrench Racing? Do you all think I made a good choice buying this aftermarket oil pump? I ordered it to to upgrade from the stock OEM one which is vulnerable to disintegration. The aftermarket one is meant to be bulletproof because it is made from some type of so-called '4340 steel'.

      Loss of power

      Hi Darryl, I’ve just read your post about loss of power in your UZJ200R and multiple fuel pump replacements. I have the same issue in my 4.7L and was wondering if you were able to get the issue resolved? My loss of power occurs after approximately 5 hours of towing a load (caravan) and results in loss of power and eventual engine backfiring. The problem resolves it self after a few hours of cool down time. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel & air filters, plugs, ignition coils and mass airflow sensor but still have the issue. My auto electrician suggests that I now replace the fuel pump control computer (part no. 89570-60160) that sits on top of the right chassis rail just forward of the right rear wheel. He thinks this might be getting hot which could then affect the integrity of the signals being sent to the fuel pump. I look forward to your reply.
