FAQ on RON 95 by Shell
1. What is RON?
RON stands for Research Octane Number. It measures the combustion properties of the fuel.
2. What do the numbers '95’ and '97’ mean?
The numbers '95’ and '97’ represent the minimum RON value of a fuel that will prevent “engine knocking”.
3. What is “engine knocking”?
Engine knocking happens when fuel combusts prematurely before ignition by the spark plug, which causes a “knocking” effect, resulting in loss of power. Using the appropriate minimum RON fuel that is recommended by your vehicle manufacturer will ensure that combustion happens at the right time to avoid “engine knocking”.
4. What is the minimum RON requirement for my car?
Your vehicle’s manual should specify what minimum RON value fuel to use. Sometimes, this information is printed on the refuelling cap lid. If unsure, please check with your vehicle manufacturer, authorised vehicle distributor or with an authorised mechanic.
5. Can my car use RON 95?
That depends on your engine. Your vehicle can use RON 95 if it is designed or set for RON 95 or lower. However, the best thing to do is to check with your vehicle manufacturer, authorised vehicle distributor or with an authorised mechanic.
6. What RON works best for my vehicle?
You should always use a fuel that meets or exceeds the minimum RON recommended by the vehicle manufacturer or authorised mechanic.
7. Can I mix RON 95 with RON 97?
As long as the fuel meets or exceeds the minimum RON required by the engine, mixing is fine and should not damage your engine. .
8. I am looking for power and performance, what is the RON value of Shell V-Power Racing?
