Can pump RON 92 petrol for Latio?

[DarthRevan]

Hi all, I was advised by the SE to pump RON95 petrol. But I read the manual, it says can pump minimum RON91.

So the question is:

1. Can I pump RON 92 without engine knocking?
2. Have anyone try RON 92?
3. What possible consequences from pumping RON 92?

Man thanks for any replies

HI DR

As long as the fuel is Unleaded, i think shld be np to pump for our Latio.

I guarantee you that it is 101% safe to pump 92RON for your Latio.

If there's engine knocking, you should send it back to Tan Chong to rectify. This should not occur as Latio is designed to accept 91RON petrol onwards.

The possible "consequences" from pumping RON 92 is that you save more money as compared to pumping 95RON.

but using 92, the response become so sluggish that i think i tends to step on it more. tat was with my last ride. i think it still depends on individual as to whether will really save money lei...

[shpesft]

lol... Nissan cars are engined to take Ron 91 fuels and above though all the SAs at TC will recommend Ron 95. I've been on Ron 92 since day 1 of my Latio and my current car so no worries

Was advised by TCM not to pump RON92. So far, tried RON95 of Caltex, Shell and Esso, all work fine for me. RON98 more smooth; FC a bit better. V-power felt the difference in power but exp man.

Hi iagree,

Actually pump 98 is more than enough for Latio unless you really got extra cash to burn. 95 is good to go.

I see the Panda I feel giddy spinning around. What is pening BTW ?

Did TCM explain why Latio not advisable to pump 92RON?

I thought since owner manual states min 91RON, should be no problem to pump 92RON.

Hi Jazz, sound like silly for me to pump SPC98 for so long,  , i think it's abt time for me to change to 95 liao altough the petrol price has came down (maybe from Mobil this time)..pening = giddy (in malay word)

[Ying]

finish your SPC 98 then pump about $20 of SPC 95. Try it first before you pump in full tank. I only pump SPC 95 once and that's it.

ok, this is only in Malaysia. when you pump petrol. see if you can detect a trace of karosin in the air or from the pump. If yes, black list that station and pump else where. What you see may not be what you get.

Hi Jazz

Good one, i always pump the 'cheapest' one when i drive to Caltex... I thk their cheapest one is 95?

Ya, agree with u, burn more cash if we pump > 95.

Pening is giddy. Hokkien said HIN/Tao Hin/Tao Kong after seeing it spinning like that.

Hello LatioR,
Nope, I dun find you silly, you cared for your car. 

Same thing if you can afford, everyday you can drink Starbuck instead of kopitiam coffee.

You also Malaysian ?

Hello iagree,

Yep, Caltex "lowest" grade is Caltex Silver which is equivalent to 95. 

[burnolise]

Hm.mm.m.....I tot pumping lower grade of petrol means there are more impurities in the petrol which in term means tat ur engine will be dirty faster??

[Silver]

the grade is with reference to RON (Research Octane Number)
lower grade does not mean more impurities, just lower RON

Better to avoid Malaysia petrol especially those near the boder as there has been many reports of the petrol being mixed with Kerosene.
