Petrol. 95 Lead - free Petrol contra 98 Lead - free.

Post by xavi »

Hi,
98 Lead free petrol is becoming a rare item in my part of the district.
Only Statoil has it. It won´t be long before they discontinue selling it.
Can I use 95 lead free on my car instead of 98 lead free. (1987, 2.1l, 112 HP)
Thanks.

No problems to use 95 lead free instead of 98.
You might need to change the ignition timing to 5 degrees instead of 10. But not necessary if you don't notice any difference in motor power
I only use 95 and haven't changed the timing
