From the list I got, your 98 Civic Vti is NOT compatible to E10.

[rapido]

Thanks. Pano nyo po na identify na di compatible? Do you mean po na yung akin is Civic 1.6 VTEC: 1996 – 1998.

Hindi cya:
6. Civic 1.6L DOHC VTEC: 1998 – 2001
7. Civic 1.6L VTEC (Civic SiR Body): 1998 – 2001

Pano po ma iidentify/makikita yung Civic 1.6L DOHC VTEC: 1998 – 2001
at Civic 1.6L VTEC (Civic SiR Body)?

Yung Civic Civic 1.6L VTEC (Civic SiR Body) po ba is yung SIR o body lang type lang cya?

Sorry po, medyo newbie pa ako.

You have a point. What model Civic VTi do you have? 98 was a year it changed models. I was assuming your civic was the one produced 1996 to 1998.

If you don't know, check what kind of chassis code your car has.

[ssaloon]

If your EK is the facelifted model (same body type as the SiR with multi-reflector tail lights, may abang para sa fog lamps sa front bumper), then it should be compatible.

However, if it's still the 1st gen EK body, then it isn't compliant with E10.

[marvs08]

How about sir yung esi 93 ko with d15b vtec-e engine? Compatible po ba? Ty!

[baludoy]

so anong fuel ang ma-recommend niyo for a 1996 ek vti?

[ghosthunter]

so anong fuel ang ma-recommend niyo for a 1996 ek vti?

Among others, Petron XCS has no ethanol mixed into it.

[baludoy]

^ how about their xtra unleaded? i'm getting conflicting answers whenever i ask them (gasboys) about it. and i understand shell and caltex no longer offer fuels w/o an e10 mix

btw, in my area there are unfortunately no "small gasoline players" peddling their wares

Xtra unleaded is E10 blended already. There is a warning on every pump in the form of a yellow sticker stating the presence of ethanol in the fuel.

[baludoy]

yep. that's what i'm told. oh well, shift na lang ako sa xcs just to be sure. tnx!

[patricksee]

Diba understood naman na pag walang nakalagay na with E10 dun sa mismong gasoline stand, wala siya halong E10? sa Shell kasi beside SM Taytay, may mga booth na nakalagay Unleaded E10 then meron din Unleaded lang. so dun ako lagi sa Unleaded na walang E10.

Although hindi ko pa din na-try to ask if wala nga talagang E10 yung iba. Will do sa next full tank.

Diba understood naman na pag walang nakalagay na with E10 dun sa mismong gasoline stand, wala siya halong E10? sa Shell kasi beside SM Taytay, may mga booth na nakalagay Unleaded E10 then meron din Unleaded lang. so dun ako lagi sa Unleaded na walang E10.

Although hindi ko pa din na-try to ask if wala nga talagang E10 yung iba. Will do sa next full tank.

.... di po sa kahit na walang nakalagay na E10 ehh wala ng E10 yun ... better ask nalang po ang mga gasoline boy para makasiguro kasi po halos lahat po gas ng shell ehh meron na pong halong e10...

sige, ask ko next time to make sure. if ganito rin lang, XCS na nga ang pinaka-ok. lakas pa ng hatak. hindi ramdam engine brake pag bitaw ng gas pag hindi kabilisan ang takbo.

thanks for the info! and i'll update you guys if meron o walang E10 yung andun.

[box_type]

How about sir yung esi 93 ko with d15b vtec-e engine? Compatible po ba? Ty!

paki sagot naman po ito, i'm planning to buy a civic with this engine installed, thanks

[redeemed]

paki sagot naman po ito, i'm planning to buy a civic with this engine installed, thanks

makikisagot na rin po... sir, nasa previous page po ata yung list ng E-10 compatible or here http://www.hondaphil.com/ver2/e10.php

you may visit this one also Ethanol gas can damage car engines—Petron whether to use E10 or not.

[CVT]

Even if our vehicles are certified compatible with E10-blended fuels,- I still go for pure gasoline,- Caltex Gold or Petron XCS.... (Shell's gasoline variants are all E10, while Petron Blaze is out of my reach....)

Civic 1.5L (Civic SiR Body) (Group Fuel Injection, GFI) 1998 ~ 2001

Honda Civic
Civic 1.6 VTEC 1996 ~ 1998
Civic 1.5L (Group Fuel Injection, GFI) 1996 ~ 1998

The vehicles that i noted above belong to the same generation (Civic EK).

What are the changes that HCPI made for the 1998-2001 1.6 VTi and 1.5 LXi models as they are of the same engine and made compatible with E10???

I had been handling my sister's 1996 Civic VTi and she has been using either Shell Unleaded (green) and Caltex Silver both are with the E10 blend for over a year and so far no adverse changes have been observed. same responsiveness as always...

Hoping Honda gurus here can help. thanks and happy holidays.
