Guest mvec Guests Posted 21/02/03 03:26 AM Share Posted 21/02/03 03:26 AM Most PULP come with detergent additives that clean out carbon deposits - that's probably the reason for occassionally running premium I dont know about other places but my friend who works at Shell says that both their ULP and Optimax have detergents and additives to protect and clean the engine. They just have differing amounts. Using aftermarket cleaners like Nulon and such is not going to do your car much good. It works well if your car is old and gluggy, but in a new car, best policy is to buy petrol from reputable dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest esky Guests Posted 21/02/03 06:55 AM Share Posted 21/02/03 06:55 AM Unless you're a full throtle driver then I'd save your $$$ and use ULP. Put that extra $5 that you saved toward your 300kw upgrade package. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use BP Ultimate though, and Optimax. I did notice worse fuel consumption on the Optimax though, and I think I'll stick with Clatex, seems good!
