About David Scott
Expertise
Questions regarding the advisability of different kinds of modifications to Samurai/Sidekick/Tracker or various kinds of off-road usage. I will not attempt to do more than provide links for questions about other Suzukis such as Vitara, Grand Vitara, etc. I may or may not give generalized advice for newer models, but have no experience regarding newer models, and will not attempt to give more than the most generalized answers for questions regarding vehicles later than '93 manufacture. I will however, if possible, provide a link that will help you contact a professional in your region.
Experience
I've been a professional mechanic for over thirty five years, live in the center of the Rocky Mountains, and have been active in exploring the old mining/4wd roads for decades. I've specific experience with Samurai modification, because that's my personal vehicle.
Education/Credentials
Thirty five years of advanced, intensive classes for experienced professionals only. Manufacturer seminars and training classes averaging four to six weeks per year. I'm now a professional heavy duty fleet mechanic, and no longer deal with issues such as MIL (check engine) lights

You are here: Experts > Autos > Trucks > Suzuki > RON 97 and RON 98
Expert: David Scott
Date: 8/14/2008
Subject: RON 97 and RON 98
Question
My Suzuki car manual book recommended fuel type for my car is RON 98. But my country only selling RON97. Are RON 97 and RON 98 the same. If i using RON97 on my car, will it harm my engine?
Thank you.
Answer
The difference between RON(research octane number)97 and 98 is so small as to be negligible. Many people at altitudes of 7000 or more feet successfully use fuel with a RON of 7 to 9 points lower. If you live at sea level, in extremely hot climates, and drive very hard, you may want to consider a fuel additive to feel better about it, otherwise don't worry, it won't matter.
