i only recently got the car and the previous owner used leaded fuel. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it was designed for unleaded?

cheers

Unleaded = 91 Ron
Premium Unleaded = 95 Ron
LRP (leaded) = 95 RON

then youve got your 98 RON fuels such as BP ULTIMATE, MOBIL 8000 etc etc

Optimax is a 98 ron fuel....its not a premium fuel....anyway its shithouse dont use it

seeing as though it was running on LRP...yes u can run it on "Premium Unleaded" without having to mess around with the timing.....assuming the timing is already fine

i know the 2T/G are safe to use on unleaded without any valve damage

but im not sure about the 18R motors

dunno about optimax being shit - both my celicas ran quite well on it - compared to some other brands - and its the only 98 ron fuel here in the counrty

the Gt4 LOVED mobil 8000 - real shame its hard to find out this way
