can optimax cause damage?

[BradRT]

if your car is recommended to use 95RON, can optimax or anything more than 95RON damage or decrease the performance of your car?

don't think it could but theres always someone who thinks different... (and usually has a good reason why)

higher ron is generally used in faster, more powerful cars - I very much doubt it would damage cars set to run on 95!

I used to run super in my old 309GTi - ran sooo much smoother.

I run Optimax in my car, manual says 92-98RON or something silly

 

[thedoc]

doubt it, its got cleaning agents & stuff in*
*very technical term.

It's more likely the car is recommended to run (atleast) 95ron rather than 95ron exactly.

 

[wide]

yes, as above optimax will only be good for your car not bad!!!

Unless it's a diesel.



LoL

It doesnt matter what ron fuel you put in your car it says in the fuel cap in my 182 98ron but it doesnt matter if i put in 95 or 97 it will proberly run better with 98ron there is more octane in it thats all

optimax will not damage your engine or change the performance of it in an RT but you would notice a difference in a car that is recommended to run on 98ron eg 172

you won't notice any difference yourself. but your engine will stay happy for longer. cleaner. only thing i've noticed is that it lasts longer on motorways.

Pre-detonation due to the compression.
