Never loaded up on V-Power again.
I tried using all fuel brands including V-Power and Blaze to know which fuel will remove the cricket sound. It took 4 full tanks of different fuels and there is no hope of figuring out the cause since even using blaze produces the cricket sound when driving for long hours. Now after ~4k Km the cricket sound was gone, I don't know if its because of the distance traveled or because of the INTAKE+Exhaust that I change. A racing car driver we know told us to use V-Power when doing track, normal driving then use XCS since its 95 octane which is a minimum requirement for the 86.
