RB Snake Donating Members 327 Member For: 10y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Perth SOR Posted 24/09/14 11:38 AM Share Posted 24/09/14 11:38 AM Like I said in my post 'taxis drivers' have had this problem. We're talking about high km vehicles. Every time it got done Toyota suggested they use 98/95 octane fuel, after doing so they didn't have many dramas. I can't imagine you will find lots of info on the net about this, none of our Falcons or Camry Hybrids (taxis) have had this problem. Probably isn't common on private cars.It it a myth that 98 octane premo fuel has cleaning additives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my old Accord Euro (which I bought new), at 80,00 klms the fuel filter got replaced as part of the scheduled servicing. It was very evident at that service that 98 is indeed worth the extra cost, as my fuel filter was absolutely spotless...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But switched up to 98 and I reckon there was about 10% less smoke pouring out the back of it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starts around 8min mark. Edited 14/10/14 02:36 AM by pharkit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
