All,
I imagine this question has been done to death on every forum on the planet and I think I know the answer, but wanted to double check prior to picking up my 2017 C63S on Friday, so.....
I am aware that the manual for this car states I need to use 98 RON or above petrol, I have no issue with this and it makes complete sense to me, if I can fill with Super then I will. However, if I need to put boggo 95 RON in at some point (in the event i'm somewhere with no 98/99 availability), can I do it without damaging the engine?
Yes I know I will lose some power because of that (or at least I think I will) but, i'm concerned from stuff i've read that 95 will permanently damage the internals. One of my previous performance cars (an E46 M3) that stated 'Super' only, never had any issue running on straight 95, so i'm pretty sure i'm being paranoid. That being said I would appreciate someone with more knowledge than me putting my mind at rest!
Thanks in advance and sorry for dredging up the old chestnut.....
Simon
