Australian Readers - Caltex Premium diesel ?
Noticed Caltex Premium diesel the other day while filling up my petrol car ? It was around the same price as premium unleaded ? Anyone tried it or is it worth it ?
Thanks

Make sure you check the parts per million of sulpfur, you have to use low sulphur diesel in the X5. Last time I checked BP was the best, then Shell, I currently pay $116.9 per litre for BP here in Brisbane.

Thanks.. still waiting for my car.. I ditched the hitch.. it was too expensive and as the dealer explained looked "very agricultural", I'll wait and hope they come up with a better option like the european hitch...!!

Can you use bio-diesel in the X5 ?

On the fuel filler there is a sticker saying no bio-diesel, but you would get away with a blend. The caltex bio-diesel comes in two flavours 2% & 5% bio-diesel, either would be ok as they are ultra low sulphur like 5 parts per million whereas the BP I think is 50 parts that I use. You just cannot use pure bio-diesel, also the Caltex bio-diesel is hard to get. By the year 2009 all Oil Companies have to produce 0 parts per million of sulphur which is like the Caltex 5% bio-diesel. Normal old diesel is like 500,000 parts, then Shell brought low sulphur which was 500 parts, BP then brought out their low sulphur at 50 parts. Caltex's low sulphur is also 50 parts but there bio-diesel is only 5 parts.
