Today, Euro5 diesel is available to motorists nationwide, enabling them to run on a cleaner, high-quality fuel that is not only good for the engine but also for the environment. But prior to this day (November 12) in 2014, the fuel was only up to the Euro2 standard which was significantly less environment friendly. However, due to the controls that the government have on the petroleum industry and also the higher costs, the upgrading of fuel standards was slow.
The upgrading of standards was important because the newer generation of diesel engines requires fuel of better quality with much lower levels of sulphur. Furthermore, Singapore had become stricter on the exhaust emissions of commercial vehicles and as a great number cross over from Malaysia daily to deliver goods, the transport industry also needed to have better fuel.
The first company to make the decision to provide Euro5 diesel was Boustead Petroleum Marketing Sdn Bhd, which markets the BHPetrol brand of fuels and lubricants. After discussions with the government which was supportive of the move, the company began to supply Infiniti Euro5 diesel to a few stations in Johor. This was to quickly address the issue for the lorry operators going to Singapore.
Boustead Petroleum Marketing Sdn Bhd, the company marketing BHPetrol fuels and lubricants today gave away a total of RM220,000 in cash prizes to the winners of the ‘Riang Ria Hari Raya’ contest held in April and May. There was a total of 40 contest winners from around Malaysia, with the Grand Prize of RM20,000 each going to 5 winners, RM10,000 each to 5 winners, RM5,000 each to 10 winners, as well as consolation prizes of RM1,000 each for 20 winners.
The contest was held over two months at BHPetrol stations nationwide, and all motorists had to do to participate was to purchase BHPetrol Infiniti fuels or make a purchase of RM30 or more at the BHPetromart convenience store.
While entry forms for the contest were available, participation was made easier using the BHPetrol loyalty eCard app. Via the app, members can instantly redeem their points for an extensive range of items and gifts. If they prefer, they can also convert their points for fuel with every 950 ePoints equivalent to RM10 of fuel.
Expressing gratitude to customers and congratulating the lucky winners of the contest at the presentation ceremony this morning, Ir. Azizul Azily Ahmad, CEO of Boustead Petroleum Marketing, said: “This is one of our ways to reward customers who have been supportive to the brand all these years. We will continue implementing more exciting promotions and providing excellent service to all our customers. It is part of the company’s ongoing marketing activities to generate interest and awareness on the available offers at around 400 BHPetrol service stations nationwide.”
Besides the contest awards, the company also contributed RM20,000 to Jabatan Hal Ehwal Veteran ATM (JHEV) which was received by Lt. Kol. Azwadi bin Jamian, JHEV’s Chief Operating Officer. This contribution fulfilled the pledge made by BHPetrol to help the under-privileged community, particularly the retired army veterans, as part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program.

30 Malaysians had ‘golden moments’ today as they received gold bars as prizes from Boustead Petroleum Marketing Sdn Bhd, the company marketing BHPetrol fuel and lubricants. The 30 men and women were among the 100 winners of the BHPetrol ‘Fuel-ing Ong’ contest which was run during the Chinese New Year period earlier in the year.
More than half a million entries from across the country were received during the 3-month period of the contest. Customers at BHPetrol stations were entitled to an entry each time they made a purchased BHPetrol fuels or bought items from the BHPetromart convenience store (minimum RM30). All they had to do was fill out an entry form or it was automatically submitted via the BHPetrol eCard mobile app.
There were two categories of prizes – 10 gms and 20 gms of 999.9 gold bars. ‘999.9’ means the gold content in each bar is 99.99%, essentially making it pure gold. One gram of gold has the value of RM271 today (May 26, 2022), so it was certainly very good fortune for the winners to spend at a BHPetrol station.
Commenting on the promotion, Ir. Azizul Azily Ahmad, BHPetrol’s Acting CEO, said that there was increased sales volume at the stations during the period. This trend was also seen in the usage of the BHPetrol eCard which offers rewards to loyal members.
“I would like to congratulate all the lucky winners today and wish to express my gratitude to all customers who have participated in the contest. This is one of our ways to rewards customers who have been supportive of the brand all these years,” said Ir. Azizul, who presented the prizes to the winners.
“It is also part of the company’s ongoing marketing activities to generate interest and awareness of the available offers at our BHPetrol stations which number about 400 nationwide. We will continue to have more exciting promotions and to continue to provide excellent service to all our customers,” he promised.
Motorists also have an opportunity till the end of May 2022 to win prizes in the ‘BHPetrol Riang Raya Hari Raya‘ promotion which has a total of RM220,000 worth of prizes. Click here to know more.
This BHPetrol’s 16th year of operations, having started as a Malaysian brand of high quality fuel and lubricants on February 14, 2006. The network of stations has been growing each year and at some 300 of them, there are also BHPetromart convenience stores. These stores provide not only a wide variety of essential products but also useful services to motorists.
BHPetrol fuels have long been recognized for their performance and advanced German additive technology. Motorists enjoy better performance and fuel economy when they use BHPetrol regularly. The brand was also the first in Malaysia to introduce the more environment-friendly Euro5 grade of biodiesel in the country.
Besides fuel and lubricants, BHPetrol is also involved in the distribution of LPG (liquid petroleum gas) for domestic and commercial use.

Engine technology is constantly advancing and improving, not just as an ‘evolutionary’ process but also to meet consumer demands and also increasingly strict regulations. Consumers want to have better economy and better performance, while regulators want to reduce pollution and set tougher exhaust emission standards. As engines become more advanced, the oil for lubrication also needs to make technological advancements and reformulated to ensure that the new targets are met.
The petroleum companies are therefore constantly conducting R&D to improve their products and they are guided by the various standards that technical organizations like the American Petroleum Institute (API) set. These standards or service ratings are developed in consultation with engine makers (usually the carmakers) to determine what the oil needs to do for the improvements or changes.
Boustead Petroleum Marketing, which has been marketing BHPetrol fuel and lubricants since 2006, is also constantly monitoring the changes in the industry. It ensures that its products are up to date technically and meet the latest standards in the industry. Last year, the API upgraded its familiar service classification to the new ‘SP’ designation and BHPetrol quickly began to discuss with its additive supplier overseas on upgrading the formulation for its SynGard engine oil for passenger vehicles. This led to the new fully synthetic Syngard 8000 Eco that is now available which meets the new API SP standard.
The new standard is in response to the new generation of engines and technologies and help the carmakers to meet tougher environmental standards. There was the issue of Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) that can occur in turbocharged petrol engines with direct fuel injection technology. Such engine technology is adopted as it allows for an engine with a smaller displacement – and the industry has been downsizing – to develop roughly the same output as a larger one.
Engine with direct injection fuel delivery.
However, these engines can have LSPI which is abnormal combustion. LSPI occurs when the engine is under high load but driven slowly. In such a condition, the spray of fuel from the nozzles can lose its atomization and the petrol will enter as a large droplet rather than a fine mist. These droplets will then ignite at the wrong time and the effect can become damaging over time. In extreme cases, connecting rods and pistons can be severely damaged. Specialized additives, used in Syngard 8000 Eco, can prevent LSPI and prevent shortening of engine life.
The other issue in many modern engines is due to the use of Start/Stop Engine Technology. This technology allows the engine to stop automatically when idling is long and then start again automatically when it is time to move off. The aim is to reduce idling which is one of the periods when fuel consumption is at its highest because the engine is burning fuel but the car standing still.
The constant starting and stopping, especially in today’s congested traffic conditions, can lead to increased sludge formation and varnish deposits. Both of these are not good for the engine and another group of additives help to control this, along with better oxidation stability.
Each new API standard has provided improved protection and reduced wear of parts. One area that received much attention for API SP was the timing chain. Carmakers are shifting towards the use of timing chains instead of timing belts as the chains, which are of metal, are more durable. However, they tend to wear out too and stretch over time, affecting the precise timing of valve opening and closing. The new standard requires the engine oils to minimize timing chain elongation.

Companies which market their products stating that they meet API standards are required to have their performance verified by the organization which will then licence them to use the API markings and wording. Besides the usual tests for certification, the API added 7 new tests for this more stringent new standard – all of which the new Syngard 8000 Eco have passed.
After studying the Malaysian market, BHPetrol chose the 0W-20 viscosity for its new SynGard product. This is a viscosity that will be suitable for many modern engines, as specified by carmakers. The new SynGard 8000 Eco has a recommended price of RM196.
Although the new SynGard 8000 Eco is ‘backward compatible’ and can be used for engines that require API SN oil, there may be engines that cannot due to the viscosity issue. In this case, BHPetrol has Syngard 8000 which is also a fully synthetic oil with a viscosity of 5W-40. This meets the API SN Plus standard which is an enhanced SN standard to provide better performance with turbocharged engines and also address the LSPI issue. Another alternative of equally high quality is semi-synthetic Syngard 6000 Eco oil which meets the API SN standard.
Along with other BHPetrol lubricants and ancillary products, both the new Syngard 8000 Eco and Syngard 6000 Eco can be purchased from BHPetromarts, selected workshops and spare parts shops. The engine oils are also available at selected shops in East Malaysia.

Although Malaysia is fortunate not to have a history of wars, there have nevertheless been times when our armed forces have been called upon to respond to serious situations affecting the security and peace of the country. At such times, the members of the armed forces have made great sacrifices which we should appreciate.
This year, Boustead Petroleum Marketing Sdn Bhd which markets BHPetrol fuels and lubricants, has initiated the Tabung Pahlawan ATM or Malaysian Armed Forces Warriors Fund campaign together with the Jabatan Hal Ehwal Veteran (JHEV) or Veterans Affairs Department.
The fund, officially launched today, aims to collect donations from the public through BHPetrol stations. Collection boxes are places in the BHPetromart stores of 204 stations where the public can easily make their donation to show appreciation. The collection program will run until the end of 2021 and the donations collected will be channeled via the JHEV to retired veterans of the armed forces who may be disabled, as well as dependents who are in need. Cash donations are recognized by the Income Tax department as tax-deductible amounts when submitting annual returns for assessment.
According to Mejar Jeneral Dato’ Dzulkarnain bin Ahmad, donations collected in 2020 amounted to RM8.5 million but there was a target of RM10 million. He therefore hoped that the general public and corporate sector could support the campaign for the Tabung Pahlawan ATM.

The campaign for Tabung Pahlawan ATM and collection of donations at BHPetrol stations was suggested by the Ministry of Defence as a platform to channel donations. According to Leslie Ng, CEO of Boustead Petroleum Marketing, this latest campaign is part of its ongoing support for the armed forces, especially the Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) or Armed Force Pension Fund Board which is also a major shareholder of its parent company, Boustead Holdings.

Boustead Petroleum Marketing Sdn Bhd (the company marketing BHPetrol products and services) believes that with the arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine in Malaysia, economic and travel activities will be restored and thus resume petrol consumption nationwide.
The company notes that while the Movement Control Order (MCO) impacted traffic to all petrol stations, it is confident that consumer sentiment will be more positive and the economy and especially tourism will pick up now as the National COVID-19 Immunization Programme progresses.
For those who will be travelling more, the good news is that BHPetrol stations nationwide now accept the ShopeePay mobile wallet as a mode of payment. The partnership with ShopeePay is another step for the company towards the digitalisation of payments.
Improving products and services all the time
“At BHPetrol, we are always looking at ways to improve our offers in providing the best quality fuels, exciting offers and convenience for our customers; and so partnering with e-wallets like ShopeePay is a great example of an exciting promotion that also provides convenience to the customers,” said BHPetrol Marketing General Manager, Lawrence Chuah.
“This is not only a natural progression due to the COVID-19 situation, but also in line with the government’s MyDigital initiative which aggressively pushes for the adoption of contactless payment. More importantly, it also satisfies the change of consumer behavior towards more options of digital payment,” added Mr. Chuah.
He said that BHPetrol has always been heeding customer needs and being ahead of the game is important. “It is our nature to be progressive and hence, it was not difficult for us to maneuver and ride the changing tides. Accepting ShopeePay as an added payment mode offers our consumers more choice. We will always go further to help serving and rewarding our customers better,” he said.
ShopeePay can be used to make payments at BHPetrol stations and BHPetromarts nationwide.
Cashback for BHPetrol customers
Alain Yee, Head of ShopeePay, added that the timing of the partnership is such that it would best benefit Malaysians. “As economic sectors slowly begin to reopen and Malaysians head out for business as usual, the demand for petrol is set to rise again. ShopeePay users be rewarded with attractive cashback, putting more money back into the pockets of BHPetrol customers,” he added.
To commemorate the collaboration, users of ShopeePay who patronize any BHPetrol outlet with eWallet acceptance will receive RM4 cashback with a minimum spend of RM40. Each customer can receive a total of three cashbacks during the campaign period from today until April 30, 2021 (terms and conditions apply).
