Nothing will happen. I think, octane rating for your car is 87 or higher.

I believe that if your souce of information is correct you have to use 95oct.

thanks for the replies mates.. Ya i went through that specific thread too..

From what i read long time back and this new one i found the Octane rating for Vios is 93

I did use 90 OCt once when i was out of colombo n i felt the car was not giving the usual performance.. So a bit worried to use 90 OCT..

I'm a newbie to this so i fear it wud make my engine go bad.

i alternate between 90 and 95 and the cars been running fine for the past 3 years. don't worry too much about it.

Thank you all for the info

I dnt think there is a clear difference between 90 &95 in srilanka..... knowing our people

[JadeyBlitzen]

90 for economy and low down torque

95 for performance

tried both on my 1nz. so far no probs. however one of my friends had a knocking problem when going from 95 to 90.

When I purchased the car, I used 95, but switched to 90 when the prices went up. I didn't feel any difference at all. Yes, mine is a Vios

Talking about CPC fuels I know there is a clear difference of Octane rating. Do not know about IOC.

According to our vios owners manual, the required octane is 91 or higher.

and mate go for either, soo many people pump both, its hard to keep track sometimes. lol. however we've pumped only 95 from the time we got the car nearly 2 years ago. no complaints, except for the extra 13 bucks per litre difference (which used to be only 3 *growl* ) hehe
