As of this morning, I have tried all 3. Filled up with Petronas Euro 5 diesel at Mutiara Damansara kiosk. Within the first 1 km, I regretted it. Feels rough like Euro 2 diesel. Can't wait to use up this tank. Never touching it again. It's probably due to the additives used. I hope they improve it.

My preferred one is Shell's. Have always used BHP but when Shell introduced it in the Klang Valley, I went and tried it. The difference is immediately visible. Smoother than BHP. I'll still use BHP on and off to thank them for being the first to introduce Euro 5 here.

Please share your experience.
 
Agreed, worst Euro5 diesel i ever tried, just feel so much rough.
Shell to me is best, BHP hit and miss depending on station i guess.
Shell got consistent quality.
 
New kid in town. Petron Diesel Euro 5 in Subang Indah and Jalan Maarof and more soon.
 
Observation based on all E5, B7:

BHP - good FC
Shell - worse FC vs BHP, smoother and quieter engine
PETRONAS - after two full tanks, smooth and almost equal to Shell. Slightly better FC.

Need more data. If you just filled up and noticed a difference, that could only be in your mind. It takes a while (up to two full tanks) to really feel the difference between the respective fuels.
I have not gotten the opportunity to fill up at PETRONAS again. Been filling up Shell, but poorer FC. Can also try Petron next as it is nearby
 
Will try Petron next fill-up. But this time I'm gonna be smarter. Fill up half tank to try first.

Bro Affan, can share your FC numbers for the various E5? I seem to be getting 12.1 km/l whatever I use. Fairly heavy-footed driving.
 
I have tried BHP, Shell, Caltex, Petronas and Petron. (But this are short term tests).
Listing by best

1. Petron (Car is way smoother and more torque - quieter too)
2. BHP/Shell (Slightly rough)
3. Caltex/Petronas

Caltex was the most disappointing of the lot. However as mentioned these are short term (RM30-RM40). Going to try more long term and see.
 
before this i bought the car that use petrol, recently i bought audi so need to use diesel...so what is the latest diesel suitable for performance car??

you should try one by one so that you can find which is the most suitable diesel for your car, coz different car fit to different diesel..can't say which is the best...
till now i still haven't try out petronas diesel, mayb next time will try out..i read other articles good review on petronas dynamic euro 5 diesel.
 
I have tried using no 1 & 2 euro 5, quite okay la but for my vehicle still feel like not there yet
is this normal or has anyone tested lately?I waiting to try euro 5 from petronas as many people said it is

aiya then should just try from different stations and see
even gckiat also mentioned before different stations are difff .but only will use ptronas la.i don't know y but I'm not interested in other oil brand, maybe because Petronas easy to find
 
welll...BHP, Shell, Caltex, Petronas and Petron are well known brands in malaysia
like they have been around for yeaaarsss so impossible their oil is bad right
but it also depends la on what vehicle and also ur sensitivty
some ppl might feel the diff but some might not one ma

i don't agree...i tried Petronas dynamic euro 5 a month ald, i felt that my car generates low noise compare to previously..then i ask my bro who gt do research about the diesel and he told me that Petronas dynamic euro 5 recorder higher CN so mayb that's why it generate low noise..

Not yet trying Petron Euro 5 but i had sat my friend's car that use Petronas euro5 to Cameron Highland, it's more powerful, diesel hv higher torque that's why my friend's car hv a smoother drive..and it's more easier to pick up too..

i had tried euro3 then when petronas euro5 come out, i went to try it..yes it's cleaner combustion engine..it removes deposits and protect injector then allowing the fuel to clean the engine...and it produce lower emission
 
couldnt get to try this out.. rarely can see this euro5 in my area(Cheras) dosnt have the luck.. hope there will more petrol station provide Euro5 lahhh
