Pplater 1st Gear February 19, 2013 Share February 19, 2013 Seeking advice regarding Hyundai Accent 2005 model 1.5m can pump Ron 92 fuel? I've been driving my Accent for 1 month and noticed when I pump Ron 92 the engine warning light come up within 2 days. Thought can save money like my previous Kia Rio run on Ron 92 no problem. Car came without manual and I have no idea whether the car can use lower grade petrol. Accent owners please advice can we take Ron 92? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accent owners please advice can we take Ron 92? theoretically it can use Ron 92, but better use Ron 95 I used to drive Accent 2005 model 1.5m too, tried Ron 92 few times, felt engine noise increased and there was knocking sound while low rpm, and mileage a bit lower than Ron 95, engine warning light on may be other problem, not due to fuel grade Edited February 20, 2013 by Quantum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pplater 1st Gear February 21, 2013 Author Share February 21, 2013 Sorry open 3 threads ah... Internet lag... Thanks moderators for closing the other 2. Pai say pai say Seems u guys Accent can take Ron 92. Mine like siao siao. Pump 92 within 48 hours or 200+km will light up Engine Warning Light. Dunno is it top overhaul finish make the engine more sensitive to low grade petrol. Still trying to isolate whether is catalytic converter spoil or I pump SPC Ron 92 cause excessive Carbon Monoxide emission and Engine Warning Light come up.. Used octane booster to boost current tank of petrol and pumping Techron 95/V power etc to isolate problem.

Ron 92 gives me about 10 to 15% poorer milege. Ron 95 actually more worth it. I have no car manual to refer. Dealer didn't get it from previous owner. Stockist Song Yi also dun sell. Really figuring out everything from the dark. Never expected old model car like Accent also got rich taste buds prefer 95 Doing lots of restoration works and preventive maintanance works on car now. Like the drive, so.. I'll say, worth it. Edited February 21, 2013 by Pplater Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pplater 1st Gear February 21, 2013 Author Share February 21, 2013 engine warning light on may be other problem, not due to fuel grade My mechanic thinks its fuel grade. A Jarguar driver friend of mine once commented that SPC 95 not safe to pump. I told him, my motorbike take SPC 92 no problem. Another mech from another shop OMO also told me SPC petrol dirty. Now i really lose confidence in SPC petrol for my car. My Fazer600 bike I know safe to pump, no issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pplater 1st Gear February 23, 2013 Author Share February 23, 2013 No idea man... Once i used octane booster to bring up the Ron level of the remaining petrol in my tank, and add another half tankful of V power later... Now the engine warning light no longer comes up. Its quite certain it was the octane 92 petrol that lit it up. I suspect increase CO emission levels due to predetonation or incomplete combustion, which explains the poorer FC and slight loss of power. Dunno if the top overhaul job had anything to do with this, or why the other Accent owners seem to have no problem with octane 92. I pump octane 92 only one quarter tank, within 2 days or 200km the CEL light come up. 2 times liao. Stop using 92 everything back to normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjteo 1st Gear February 23, 2013 Share February 23, 2013 looks like it's the octane then. Not sure abt yours but My Accent 1.3M gives me better FC as well as mileage per dollar when using 98 as compared to 95. Hence stick to 98 and currently at 15-16 km/l.

Agalvilaku 2nd Gear February 23, 2013 Share February 23, 2013 I don't see any problem with SPC fuel at least from my personal experience. All along, I am using SPC 95 in both my previous ride Lancer GLX & the current one Honda city. I tried with Shell 95 to spot the difference, but, eventually don't see much difference in fuel consumption nor the engine response, so sticked to SPC from cost perspective. my Honda will give me at least 15 Km \ ltr on spc that is minimum and some times exceeded 18km \ ltr, the car is into its 6th year & manual transmission.

Cygnus_007 Neutral Newbie June 16, 2013 Share June 16, 2013 (edited) I used to drive 1.5M accent.....there was a time the engine light came out during cornering.....after checking the mechanic found that my engine oil gasket worn off so the engine oil running low.....after replace, no more liao I never heard engine warning light comes off due to fuel Accent definitely can use ron92.....but i must admit that i was getting lower fc (abt 10-11km/l) compared to ron95 (abt 13km/l)....some more pickup power also got affected No issue using SPC.....i have been changing from esso to caltex to SPC and i found no difference.....so why change to SPC? bcos of more discount and near my house Edited June 16, 2013 by Cygnus_007 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
