In Maruthi, swift’s users manual, section before driving, it starts with “You must use unleaded petrol with an Octane number (RON) 88 or higher”

1. Normal Petrol : 87

2. BP Speed: 93

3. Speed97: 97

4. Indian Oil Extra Premium: 91

5. Reliance & Essar Petrol: No idea

So we do not have petrol with (only) 88

.

What do you suggest then,

· Use higher-octane petrol

· Use normal petrol max and fill few litters higher-octane to achieve this 88 ?

· Do not mix-and match. That will cause engine problems. (Some time back we read a Sesna crashed in Bangalore because of engine cease, and the reason was pilot filled fuel tank, with a different rating octane, that what it was having already) Pl don’t laugh, n comparing with Maruthi’s engine with Sesna’s. :-)

· Using normal petrol with 87, wont cause much issues. Because its only 1 number lesser than recommended in manual booklet.

Hi Gre,

I had the same post on a different forum too. They suggested, I can continue with the 87. Pl see this -- http://www.carwale.com/forums/viewthread-3320.html...
