Skudai R&R

Oct 23

Quick answer: No, there is no Petronas station at Skudai R&R. Skudai R&R Southbound at KM16.5 of the North-South Expressway has four petrol stations: Shell, Petron, Caltex and BHPetrol, all open 24 hours. It also has a Tesla V4 Supercharger and a JomCharge 120 kW DC fast charger for electric vehicles.

Why do people search for "Petronas Skudai R&R"?

Petronas is the most familiar fuel brand in Malaysia, so many drivers assume every R&R has one. Search data shows a steady number of people looking for "Petronas Skudai R&R" every month. If you are one of them, here is the short version: you will not find a Petronas at Skudai R&R, but you will find four other major brands side by side, which gives you more choice than most rest stops.

Which petrol stations are at Skudai R&R?

Shell: Open 24 hours. Shell's rewards programme works here.
Petron: Open 24 hours. Useful if you collect Petron Miles.
Caltex: Open 24 hours. Caltex runs card promotions with selected banks from time to time.
BHPetrol: Open 24 hours. A Malaysian brand with its own loyalty programme.

All four are at the same southbound site, so you can pick the brand that suits your loyalty card, payment method or fuel preference without leaving the R&R.

Fuel prices in Malaysia are regulated by the government, so pump prices are generally the same across brands. The real differences are loyalty points, card promotions and which queue is shortest.

Where is Skudai R&R?

Skudai R&R Southbound is at KM16.5 of the North-South Expressway (E2), near Skudai toll, heading towards Johor Bahru and Singapore.

Address: 8, Jalan R&R Skudai Kawasan R&R Skudai, 81400 Senai, Johor Darul Ta'zim, Malaysia
Phone: 011-6076 5277
Hours: 24 hours
Distance to Woodlands Checkpoint: about 20 minutes in normal traffic
Distance from Machap R&R: about 60 km, or roughly 40 minutes

Is Skudai R&R a good place to fill up before Singapore?

Yes, for two practical reasons:

It is the last full-service R&R before the Causeway. After Skudai toll, you are heading into Johor Bahru traffic and the checkpoint queue.
A full tank saves time in the queue. Checkpoint jams can last a long time on weekends and holidays, and a full tank means one less thing to worry about while you wait.

If you are driving a foreign-registered car, note that subsidised RON95 is restricted to Malaysian vehicles, so foreign cars usually fill up with RON97. Fuel rules at the border can change, so check the latest guidance from the authorities before you travel.

What else is at Skudai R&R besides petrol?

EV charging: Tesla V4 Supercharger (up to 250 kW) and a JomCharge 120 kW DC fast charger

What should foreign-registered and Singapore cars know about fuel here?

Many drivers stopping at Skudai R&R are on their way to or from Singapore. A few practical points:

Pay attention to fuel grade. In Malaysia, subsidised RON95 is meant for Malaysian vehicles. Foreign-registered cars are generally expected to buy RON97 or another unsubsidised grade. Follow the signs and the attendant's guidance at the pump.
Card and e-wallet payments. All four stations accept common payment methods, but if you rely on a specific card or e-wallet, have a backup option ready.
Plan around the checkpoint. Filling up before Skudai toll means you will not need to look for fuel in Johor Bahru city traffic.

Can I charge my EV instead of filling up?

Yes. Skudai R&R is one of the better-equipped EV stops on the southern NSE. There is a Tesla V4 Supercharger, Tesla's first V4 site on the North-South Expressway with charging at up to 250 kW, plus a JomCharge 120 kW DC fast charger for other compatible EVs. While you charge, you can grab a coffee at Starbucks or a meal at Texas Chicken or Burger King. Read more in our Tesla V4 Supercharger article.

Where is the nearest Petronas if I really need one?

If you need Petronas specifically, for example to use a Petronas fleet card, check Google Maps or Waze for the nearest Petronas along your route before you reach Skudai. Off the highway, Skudai and Senai towns have a mix of fuel brands. For most drivers, though, any of the four stations at Skudai R&R will do the job.
