Over time your engine develops unwanted deposits around the valves and combustion chamber. Eventually, this greatly reduces the efficiency and power output of your engine, resulting in significant loss of power and an increase in fuel consumption.

Comprehensive tests reveal that the unique cleaning formulation of PETRONAS PRIMAX 3 starts to work right from the first time you fill it up, ensuring that your engine is always at its most powerful.
Formulated with unique additive components, PETRONAS PRIMAX 3 efficiently protects your engine against injector fouling and corrosion, restoring your car to its peak performance to improve fuel economy.
Always on the forefront of technology, PETRONAS PRIMAX 3 comes complete with a unique additive formulation proven to cleanse and re-energise your engine. Clearly, there is nothing more important than letting you experience peak engine performance on demand.

SHELL SUPER WITH FUEL ECONOMY FORMULA

Shell Super with fuel economy formula has been designed by Shell experts to give you extra mileage.

Shell has played a leading role in the development of high quality fuels. For over 100 years, we have been supplying quality fuels, and investing in the best people and science in order to drive fuel technology forward.

Designed for extra miles at no extra cost

Shell Super with fuel economy formula is specially designed to give you extra miles at no extra cost by helping combat efficiency losses caused by deposits and friction in your engine.

It contains Shell’s Synthetic Viscous Friction Improver (SVFI), designed to help improve engine efficiency by reducing friction, together with cleaning agents, formulated to prevent the build-up of fuel system deposits.

Shell Super with fuel economy formula has been designed to reduce engine friction and prevent deposits.

You lose a significant amount of the energy available in your engine through friction and other sources. Shell’s fuels scientists have explored where these losses take place and have developed fuel formulation strategies to help improve engine combustion efficiency, creating innovative fuel technologies designed to give you extra mileage.

Shell Super with fuel economy formula has been formulated to address a number of ways the fuel and your engine work together. They have developed strategies to help maximise the amount of chemical energy in the fuel that’s converted to useful work at the wheels, driving you forward.

Designed for reduced engine friction

Frictional losses can occur wherever two moving solid surfaces come into contact with each other. In most parts of your engine, friction is minimised by using the appropriate engine lubricant.

However, the interface between the top piston ring and cylinder wall is very difficult to lubricate effectively. As a consequence this area of your engine remains vulnerable to friction losses.

Shell Super with fuel economy formula is formulated with Shell’s Synthetic Viscous Friction Improver, designed to reduce friction in this critical part of your engine, helping to improve its efficiency.

Formulated to help keep your engine clean

Combustion is most efficient when the precise amount of air and fuel are mixed together at the right time.
With some conventional fuels, deposits may form over time on the back of the inlet valves. This can lead to delays in the required fuel charge entering the engine and a poor mix of fuel and air, reducing your engine’s efficiency.

Shell Super with fuel economy formula has been formulated by Shell scientists to help prevent the build-up of these deposits, helping to maintain your engine’s efficiency.

BHPETROL INFINITI WITH FUEL BOOSTER

infiniti                              

Finally a fuel worth waiting for! Introducing BHPetrol’s infiniti with Fuel Booster – a high performance 100% synthetic additive – to give you the maximum in fuel economy.

Fuel Booster works immediately to reduce fuel consumption. From today on, you can start enjoying a new level of unbeatable fuel economy every time you fill up with BHPetrol infiniti, right from the start. And there is no more to claim. Fact is, our Fuel Booster is a highly effective, multipurpose additive component which significantly enhances engine performance, enabling full use of fuel with no wastage, resulting in maximum fuel economy.

Fuel Booster works immediately to protect your engine and prolong its life. Your engine undergoes the heaviest stress during start-up when parts are cold and there’s little lubrication to buffer moving parts from damaging each other. This is why we developed our Fuel Booster with higher levels of friction modifier to significantly protect engines under all Malaysian driving conditions.

Fuel Booster works immediately to clean engine parts, and keeps them clean to boost engine performance. This is because our Fuel Booster contains more than typical levels (at least 50% more than normal recommended levels) of active compounds to clean your engine’s entire intake system, control deposit build-up and reduce sludge formation. Clean-up tests conducted on our Fuel Booster show very significant reduction by more than 60%. The end result is improved engine performance and delivery of maximum combustion for every drop of fuel used.

Fuel Booster works immediately to protect fuel lines and tanks from corrosion. Highly advanced additive compounds guarantee fast water separation in fuel tanks, and have excellent corrosion protection properties to protect pipe lines, tanks and engine metal parts against rust formation very effectively.
