After the regulatory change government in 2015, all oil companies were required to follow the guidelines of the Euro 4M standard for RON97 petrol. In essence to continue improving emissions for better air quality, Euro 5 diesel is also being offered to the public as a voluntary product by the government.

Chevron and its brand Caltex is committed to ensuring our customers are equipped with the best fuel, hence we would like to make Euro 5 diesel product available for our customers at selected service stations. 

The specifications of Euro 5 diesel and Euro 2M diesel are similar, except for the reduction on sulphur content by a factor of more than 50 i.e. from 500ppm to less than 10ppm. 

Euro 5 diesel can still be used on older vehicles but there’s only slight environmental benefit as older engine technology inherently has higher emissions than new and advanced diesel engines that are equipped with ultra-low emission capability of exhaust after treatment technology. 

Euro 5 diesel can be used in conjunction with catalysts and particulate traps retrofitted and installed on older vehicles to help reduce smoke and particulates from these engines.

Engines that are in good mechanical condition and receive routine maintenance in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations will not require any adjustments in order to use Euro 5 diesel. 

Black smoke is among the most common smoke issues for diesel vehicles. It is emitted from a diesel vehicle caused by an air-to-fuel ratio that is unbalanced. The smoke contains particles such as carbon and soot that are not being burned as fuel. 

Euro 5 diesel will not make significant changes to existing vehicles with black smoke problems.

For well-maintained engines, replacing the current grade of Euro 2M diesel with Euro 5 diesel will help to further improve our air quality.

Euro 5 diesel will make exhaust after-treatment devices more effective. When the device is installed on an engine, we can expect lower emissions and less particulates compared to older vehicles. The best way to keep smoke levels down is to operate a well maintained engine and not to overload it. 
  

As Malaysia operates in a ‘managed float’ system, the pump prices are determined by the government each month based on global oil prices and other factors.

At present, Euro 5 diesel is higher by RM0.10 per litre than Euro 2M diesel as permitted by the government.

Drivers can mix Euro 5 diesel with the existing diesel during the initial phasing in of Euro 5 diesel. But once the vehicle is on the run with Euro 5 diesel, it is advisable not to switch back to high-sulphur diesel as it might reduce the effectiveness of exhaust after-treatment devices sooner than later.

Euro 2M diesel will be available at all retail outlets, however only selected stations will be offering both Euro 2M and Euro 5 diesel simultaneously.  

Chevron has stringent procedures to ensure our products are on specification.

The specifications of Euro5 diesel and Euro 2M diesel are similar, except for the reduction of sulphur content by a factor of more than 50 i.e. from 500ppm to less 10ppm.

In addition, the Caltex Power Diesel™ with Techron® D (Euro 5) B7 is engineered with triple cleaning power of Techron that has the following
benefits:

• 100% Clean fuel injectors
• 100% Full power restored 
• Zero rust for better protection
• Zero foam while refueling

Caltex Power Diesel is an advanced and specially formulated diesel fuel for all types of diesel engines – it helps keep fuel injectors completely cleaned, maintains zero power loss and improves fuel economy.

Depending on your vehicle make and model, a Euro 5 engine vehicle will have a much more significant reduction in emissions, as compared to a Euro 2 engine vehicle.

Yes, Caltex Power Diesel™ with Techron® D (Euro 5) can be used for all types of diesel powered vehicles and stationary engines.

It is perfect for new common rail diesel engines, since it’s proven to maintain engine performance. It’s also suited for older cars as it restores lost power by removing deposits. With its ability to clean fuel injectors completely, it can help the engine perform like new with improved fuel economy.

Caltex Power Diesel™ (Euro 5) is an ultra-premiu performance, deposit control fuel designed for all diesel-fueled engines. It cleans up blocked fuel injectors and keeps them clean for maximum power and performance.

Caltex Power Diesel™ (Euro 5) contains proprietary, advanced technology, multifunctional additive system that maintains fuel injector cleanliness and protects fuel system components to ensure that engines operate at optimal efficiency and performance. It also consist a lubricity agent to minimize wear on fuel injections and fuel pump components.

As sulphur is damaging to the engine, the lower sulphur content in Euro 5 diesel also helps to reduce both the particulates and sulfur dioxide emissions of diesel engines.
