Hi, I have a Japanese imported 2007 Nissan. Is the engine designed to run on 91 octane or 95 octane? It says unleaded petrol. But there’s no way for me to find out what unleaded petrol stands for. I would prefer to fill 91 is that ok?

Hi there,
Your vehicle can take both 91 or 95 octane fuel. The benefits of 95 could potentially be lost in the extra cost of purchasing 95.
