Performance quite ok, Engine still smooth as usual, no extra sound.Yesterday drove to and fro Teluk Intan Ipoh, average speed 70 to 120 km/h, overtake no problem and as other aspect seem like no different.Just my two cents.

But some cars like my bil wira can feel lack of power very obvious after using ron 95... I have also a Toyota KE70 1980 model. It uses RON97(Shell) before RON95 is available. When RON95 is available, I started to use RON95 (Shell) and found that engine runs more smoothly than when I was using RON97. Very happy with RON95 (Shell)

(rm40) hi bro ongkh, previously i used splitfire triple platinum and do a run for 60km(although it's been stated that it could run for 100km). i got the sc changed it and took back the splitfire to do postmorten on the electrodes and to my surprise it was still in good condition. the only thing that i haven't do with the used splitfire is measuring its gap between electrodes and its arm. do anyone know the spec for gap on splitfire triple platinum? if ok, i might want to change it to do give a try again but will only be another 20km to use as i always believe in 80/20 rule. alternative i might want to try vulker sparkplug.

Since you have pump at different station, it might not due to the station.
