Premium Gas on Unleaded

[meledson]

kung 93 RON ang specified, they specify the minimum requirement, so using a higher RON than the minimum required should pose no problem (except that it would cost you more).

Yes mas mahal, but some EFI engines can utilize the extra power from higher RON fuels. :D

We have a 1.6E Altis. I just use Caltex Silver. no problems. Am not planning to use 95 RON fuel kasi ang layo ng price. 42.70 VS 44.xx.

Ang tanga naman ng Toyota dealer (?) na yan. Gas stations have long been prohibited from selling fuel with lead as additive for several years now. Engot din nung permanent driver mo, IMO, he should be fired.

Re: the Mazda3 requiring 93 Octane fuel only, that's a bit weird. I don't think Mazda would want to sell a car with an engine like that. I've never seen that warning in any of their advertisements, so I doubt if it's true. May mga managers kami dito with Mazda3 cars, wala naman silang sinasabi sa amin na ganun. Normally, the higher the octane, the better for the engine.

Sir yan ang advice ng casa dito sa Philippines. Using RON higher than 93 could result in CEL issues (Check Engine Light lits up).

correct.. ang altis.. minimum 93 RON lang.. so using 95 RON fuel is not a problem..

wag ka na matakot bro.. ayus lang yan.. napamahal ka nga lang kasi XCS kinarga nang driver mo.. basta kahit anong GAS kamo pwede.. wag lang magkakarga nang diesel..

at yang SA sa toyota na nakausap mo.. tawagan mo ulit.. ayusin kamo nya pagbibigay nang information..

the altis can handle 95 RON fuels. in fact, the altis can also handle E10 fuels.
tama explanation nila bro. don't waste sleep over that. unleaded lahat ng fuels dito sa pilipinas.

medyo matakot ka kung diesel o kerosene yang nilagay sa oto.

OK, thanks for the info. It did say in the manual that Altis can handle 95RON and higher. Toyota guy's probably good in selling, not in cars. And my driver's as confused as I am but can't ax him, I don't drive and have no license.

Next question is, if I decide to use the 'UNLEADED' branded gas like Petron's XTRA Unleaded, kailangan ko pa bang ubusin muna yung XCS (pula raw ang kulay) o OK lang ihalo na (green daw ang unleaded)?

For my avanza, I did not have any problems when I mixed different fuels (caltex gold and shell unleaded). Malamang ganoon din sa Altis, no problem.

Help, newbie here and a new car owner, a Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6S MT. I hired a driver who filled up the car with Petron XCS full, then my permanent driver said that it's supposed to be filled with unleaded only. I called Toyota and asked, was told that we need to drain it and replace with unleaded for it might cause problems in its catalytic converter which is not covered by warranty.

Ano ba naman iyan, Toyota dealer? Saan bang dealer iyan?

Bakit naman daw? This is interesting.

Yes, you can mix them.... However, I would recommend maintaining what you have for consistency...

you can. however, if you are using a higher octane rating because you want better engine response and performance, mixing a lower octane gasoline will negate its effects.
