M35 Stagea Fuel

[wht510]

I need to know what the minimum octane rating is for an M35 stagea.

I'm getting a fuel card at work and have to justify using premium petrol by photo copying the workshop manual or something similar.

Any suggestions?

Feel free to include C34's as well. (we're a sharing bunch.. )

take the office wanker for a hoon in and see if he recons itll run on 91

has it got a sticker inside the fuel flap you could get translated ?

I used 95 octane in mine for the first winter I owned it, then switched to 98 when summer arrived. They just run so much nicer on 98 I never went back. I don't even use E10 in my missus mazda 323, it's just horrible.

My ARX has at least one sticker stating RON98 but I am too lazy to go out and check.

Import work shop said the computer in them is dam smart and can cope all the way down to 91 just runs rich so you go through fuel and loose power.

Anyone tried?

err no dont use anything except 98RON. they should be run on 100RON but shell dont sell that anymore.

98 all the way!!

There is no car currently sold in Australia that the engineers have designed for 91 octane....

Even the AUS designed vehicles are optimised for at least 95 octane as that is used for emissions and fuel consumption testing...

My handbook just says "high octane unleaded". I take that to mean 100 but get as close as you can... 98??

fuel card = win

and +1 for 98, just show them the log book... should sufficiently confuse

Thanks for the responses guys.

I have a copy of the S15 SR20DET manual (I needed it for my Datsun). It says use 95 RON.

Anyone have a copy of the workshop manual/service manual which states 98 or 100RON?

I've downloaded a couple of the PDF's for an M35 and couldn't find anything.
