Which is the recommended fuel type for a 4 litre Chimaera.??

Can I use both or either with out causing any problems or without any adjustments to the timing being required.??

What's the recommendation.

Cheers,

Nick.

98 Ron = Optimax.

The car was designed for Super Unleaded when Super was 98 ron. Accordingly normal unleaded at 95 RON may well cause the engine to pink (it may not, but it might). Either super unleaded (97 ron) or Optimax (98 ron) would be best.

Regarding timing all cars seem a bit different. In theory you'd have to "de-tune" the car to use 95, but in many cases this is not necesssary.

Cheers,
Matt.
