Shell Malaysia has finally launched its FuelSave Euro 5 diesel outside Johor, with five Shell stations offering the fuel initially (more to follow). For those who favour a higher-grade fuel for their diesel engines, you’ll want to head on over to these stations at the NKVE-Damansara Highway north-bound (Selangor), Tapah rest stop (Perak), Tanjung Malim layby (Perak), Bandar Ayer Keroh (Melaka) and the Pasir Gudang Highway 2 (Johor).
With an unregulated price of RM2.00 per litre, the Shell FuelSave Euro 5 diesel is 10 sen per litre more than the regular Euro 2M diesel. However, the fuel has a lower sulphur content of only 10 parts per million (ppm), compared to 500 ppm for the current Euro 2M diesel. This bodes well with current diesel engines in reducing the emissions of harmful pollutants.
Shell FuelSave Diesel Euro 5 also features Active Efficiency Ingredients, which is designed to improve engine efficiency and fuel economy. It also has a special detergent designed to maintain engine condition by helping prevent the build-up of injector deposits.
Shell Malaysia also announced a partnership with BMW Group Malaysia to promote the importance of fuel efficiency and emissions responsibility on the road. The German marque has been a strong advocate for the introduction of Euro 5 grade fuel since 2009, when it introduced its fleet of diesel vehicles as part of the BMW EfficientDynamics programme.
The introduction of the Shell Euro 5 diesel here means the Dutch energy company now joins BHPetrol in offering Euro 5 diesel to customers outside Johor, with the latter introducing the fuel earlier in August 2015.
Keep in mind that the availability of Euro 5 diesel is not mandated by the Government, meaning it is at the fuel provider’s initiative to supply the higher-grade fuel in select locations. For instance, Shell, Petronas and BHPetrol has been offering Euro 5 diesel in Johor long before it did so in the Klang Valley. In our earlier report, the government has gazetted that Euro 5 diesel will be available nationwide from September 1, 2020.

Euro 5 diesel is pretty much the highest we can go with current facilities, station infrastructure, and vehicle tech. Euro6 requires AD-Blue. Just for bashers’ info.
Why this article did not mention the effort by BHP Malaysia?
because the news about BHP is old already
We did mention that BHPetrol was the first to introduce it in the Klang Valley earlier in August 2015.
emission wise, its a new good news.
but with 98% reduction of sulfur content, how will the new Euro 5 diesel affect the injectors and injection pump of the previous generation diesels, in terms of lubrication and wear rate?
Lubrication, no clue.
Pump, no effect.
Wear and tear, yes, a lot. Burned sulphur causes engine to corrodes….crazily! Only took around 100k-150k to see the effect on engine block.
Looking forward to buy my first diesel car
looking for f30 320d when it is available in penang…
v good newsn pls expand ur euro 5 diesel network to penang as well so v could benefit from euro5 diesel there.
save environment pls pls n pls n use hi grade fuels bez it got least carbon emissions only 10PPM (parts per million)amazing
All the stations selling Euro5 diesel are inside the toll highways (Melaka?). So have to pay toll in order to pump Euro5 diesel. Pandai
The charges is the same la cleaver head.. when u exit u paid for the distance u have traveled.
is it pure diesel or blend with palm oil diesel (bio-diesel) better B5 grade than B7 or worst B10
It should be B7 like the rest including BHP Euro 5 Diesel
Smart move of skipping euro 4
This is a good document that gives a lot of technical details about clean diesel fuel and how biodiesel affects its properties.
