Gud pm guyz..

I've come across this thread about fuel that has lead substitute is best for old engine but the thread has been dead for 2 years.



"Unless your car is older than 1990 do not use xcs. xcs is meant for cars that need leaded fuel. it has a lead substitute that help lubricate the upper part of the engine. this lead substitute can clog up the injectors of modern engines. Use v power nitro or plain unleaded a lot better. blaze 100 or vpower nitro racing is only good for high performance engines."

"xcs is an unleaded fuel that does not harm engines that was not designed for unleaded fuels. caltex gold is not. anyways if your car has a multivalve engine there will be no benefit in using xcs. All other 93 and 95 octane fuels regardless of brand are the same. V power nitro racing and blaze are different. 99% of the cars running do not need xcs blaze or v-power nitro+ racing."


I've acquired a Corolla Lovelife 1.3 2e carb engine last august and have no background on cars and fuels. So I started to read on the net and found out that a carb engine is at its best when fed with higher ron rating gasoline.

I started with Shell's V-power, it really gives engine power specially on the highways but it consumes faster also. So I settled with Fuel Save because its gives ok engine power and consumes less specially in city driving and traffic. I only use v-power when going out of town.

I also tried Caltex Gold, its ok but not as powerful as the V-power in my opinion. The Caltex Silver feels heavy in my engine, I mean I really have to step on the accelerator specially if coming from a dead stop.

Tried the Petron Xtra Unleaded once, it's ok also, maybe on par with the Shell Fuel Save in my opinion in terms of engine power. When I tried the XCS while going out of town once, I was surprise by how the car accelerates, you can really feel the power, because the last family out of town I was using V-power and I really like the acceleration, now with the XCS the acceleration is even more powerful judging from both out of town, the car was full load with passengers and luggage in the trunk, and with the XCS I had luggage and additional big mineral water refill because we were heading to the beach. With that load, the car didn't hesitate to accelerate. But what I've noticed is that XCS consumes even more than the V-power.

So now I'm back to the Fuel Save in the city and V-power on out of town.

My Questions are:

My Corolla is a 1999 model but its 2e engine dates back from the original 2e in 1985, so does it mean it belongs to the old engines that need leaded gasoline or lead substitue ??
Does V-power and Fuel Save contain the lead substitute that an old engine needed??
If it doesn't then, does continuing usage of V-power and Fuel Save damage my 2e engine in the long run??
Should I only use XCS??
Is there a lower ron fuel like the petron xtra unleaded and shell fuel save that has lead substitute for old engine??

petron xcs will be verymuch fine for carburated engines. anything with higher octane is best to avoid engine knocking. fuel save has lesser octane may cause a lot of engine knocking. you may consider checking the sound of the engine as it revs or even on idle.

Pwede na sya tanan Gas TS even Euro 4 complied fuels. Never choose a low grade octane because it will cause knocking and sometimes dieseling when shutting your engine.
