i know the 3.0 takes 87, i don't know about the 3.8 but i assume it's the same thing. why were you using 89 octane in the first place?

....here we go with the higher the octane the better.....

did you even read my post? i mean it was like one line and you couldn't even make it all the way through?

To be quite honest with you, I did read your post and my reply was not in any directed at you. I simply quoted you so people would see what I was talking about. It was in reference to your question to him asking why he was even using 89.

It's ok; Pepsi's missing half of his brain.

:heart:

you better get some 95-ocatne for that monster timleless classic purebred detroit muscle high performance luxury cruiser or else who knows next week you can be driving a crappy import like an infiniti G35c.

all gas is the same. it all comes in one big tanker to the terminals. where they then add the additives. using mid grade is mostly negligible. unless your car specifically calls for a higher octane it wouldnt matter using regular unleaded. Fine tuned vehicles such as super sport cars and sport bikes will want to use 93+. they have 94 in the northern regions.

mixing octanes doesnt matter. you may even find it cheaper to buy the cheapest octane boosters at your local auto shop and get the same results.

If you flush ur vehicle every oil change and keep it up (maintain the b!tch), most cars only need 87 octane.

hehe i worked for the main terminal in norfolk, va. distributed petro un and down the east coast. mainly exxons/mobil. you learn a lot BSin with the engineers.

edit: spelling wtf!

AND? If his S-class runs fine on 87, then that is the RIGHT FRIGGING GRADE for him to use. if any engine runs fine on 87 and the stupid put in 93, then the stupid are giving the oil company 20 cents more per gallon than they should. Oil companies LOVE stupid people

even though I don't know for sure, i highly doubt an S-class recommends or require anything lower than Premium.

Looks like the oil company's FUD dept. got to you too...not to mention the car companies 😉

your car will run fine on 87.

 

[archcommus]

Yeah, like I said, my father always had the misconception that higher was better, when I got the car from him I didn't know any better and put in premium. Once I learned the truth and prices went up I dropped it, but I still didn't go to regular because I was SURE it would ping. But since you say a week of pinging wouldn't be a big deal IF it even happened at all, I'll give 87 a shot.

If it's meant for 87 use 87.
