Hi there,

I have a Toyota Allion 2004 (A18) car, I would like to know can I fill up with Octane 91 to my car as I don't have the manual with me. It is NZ new car. I am currently filling up with Octane 95, sometimes Octane 98 if I can't find the pump with Octane 95 near by. I like to change to Octane 91 as the fuel prices are going up.

Regards,
Sri

Hi Sri,
I can only fond fuel specs for a 2006 A18 and it says 91 octane fuel can be used. I would assume a 2004 would be the same.

Hi Cade,

Thank you for the reply, if I use Octane 91, will that cause any significant damage to the engine compare to Octane 95?

Sri
