    what grade petrol do you use?

    Hi,

    Just wanted to check what grade petrol you use for N52, 2.5 engines?

    I saw some mention they use RON95, some use RON98.

    The SE at PML told me to use RON98.

    Cheers!

    On a 63-litre tank, the price between 95 and 98 is less than $4.35 !!!

    That's before all the affiliated discounts......

    Between V Power and 98, difference is $11.35 before all discount !!!

    Almost every other week, Shell has promotion for V-Power... thats the price of 98. My full tank lasts me 2+ weeks, so I always go for that!

    Re: what grade petrol do you use?

    reason i asked was not cost (it is small compared to what we have paid for the car), but just wanna do what's good for the car...

    Somehow, my mind says skip those snacks and put the $4 into the petrol tank for a (mentally) better drive. Afterall, with the rampant mod virus, what's $4?
