Do not add any additional additives to the petrol in accordance with EN 228.

Notice
■
Unleaded petrol that has a higher octane number than that required by the
engine can be used without limitations.
■
The use of petrol with an octane rating higher than 95 ROZ in does not result
in either a noticeable increase in power nor lower fuel consumption in vehicles
for which unleaded petrol 95/min 92 or 93 ROZ is specified.
■
On vehicles using the prescribed petrol of min. 95 ROZ, the use of petrol
with a higher octane number than 95 ROZ can lead to an increase in power and
reduction in fuel consumption.
