pinking is caused by the timing being out. on most modern day cars the ecu will advance/retard the timing for you. but older cars need set manually | |

I run optimax, have done for 2 years now in the SRi 8v, had the head off after about 10K's worth of use with optimax and everything was as clean as a wistle! performance has made a small jump, so I wont go back, hardly any carbon deposits anyware and the car had done 85K, not bad eh?!:thumbs: | |

I put it in my car. Definitely runs better and apparently gives slightly better fuel consumption, which probably evens out anyway as its more expensive. 89p at my nearest Shell:( | |

I work for Shell so obviously i would say optimax, however we supply BP with the base hi octane fuel, they just put there additives in which aint of the highest quality. Optimax also acts as a cleaning agent in your engine, this also assists in improving performance, economy and engine reliability! | |

petrol is filtered into the lorrys and outof the lorrys to the pumps...i doubt it will be dirty. None the less...both petrols are for performance cars or cars that need a higher octance for example if you was to run nitrous then optimax would be preffered if not neccessary. | |
