content of 10 % (E10)
Fuel grades differ according to the octane number. The vehicle may be filled with petrol that has a
higher octane number than the engine requires. However, this does not provide any advantage in
terms of fuel consumption or engine output.
The fuel quality affects the running properties, performance and service life of the engine. Refuel
with fuel that already contains suitable service additives
