G'day all,
Had the bike serviced today and one of the comments the guy made was that he had noticed a few problems with people using Optimax. I looked at the earlier postings on the subject here and there are differing opinions. Guy also mentioned that he preferred Caltex vortex.
I have no idea which is better, maybe he owns shares. Col mentioned that the results he has seen were favourable towards the Shell product and I would tend to heed his advice, however, he did mention that it may depend on where you buy the fuel from. Maybe a higher throughput ie turnover servo' would be better or does the mix vary from state to state?
Being very much a lay person on such things, I thought I'd just raise the issue again because it's not so much the extra 1 or 2 hp I'm worried about but longevity of the engine.
Is this really something to worry about or is a bit of variation to be expected? I would say yes but we Busa owners are fussy with what we stick in the damn things.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Steve....
