Unleaded petrol in a 4K-C Corolla??? Tue, 31 May 2005 07:25 Go to previous message
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can tell me if I can use ULP or PULP in my 1983 KE-70 Corolla wagon with a stock 4K-C engine? The model is listed here http://www.aip.com.au/health/lead_guide as not needing an additive to change to unleaded but it also notes "some listed Toyota vehicles may require engine adjustment to enable operation on regular unleaded petrol."

Then I found the engine listed on this site http://frodo.design.uws.edu.au/pubs3_02/N!K0LA!_L! U/mp/bowser26leaded.html saying it should use 98 RON unleaded and no additive or engine adjustment is necessary. That site appears to be a Shell document but since it's not on a Shell site it's trustworthiness is questionable.

I'm waiting for responses from both Toyota Australia and my local Toyota dealer on this topic but I'm not holding my breath since I doubt they care about such an old model.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Can I just chuck some premium unleaded straight in or do I need an additve or an engine adjustment or what? How about standard ULP?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

matt
