| 859568 | 2010-02-18 01:19:00 | Hey my grandparents just bought a 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante XE 3.0L V6, and they want to know what octane fuel it uses. Now before anyone suggests looking on the inside of the fuel door I have but its written in Japanese (which I cant read). |

| 859569 | 2010-02-18 01:26:00 | Assuming it's a 6G72 GDI engine (I think all the 3.0 V6s Diamantes of that era were) then it will be recommended to use premium unleaded. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 859570 | 2010-02-18 01:55:00 | Those things like 98 - in Japland they would run on 100 more than likely. If you can't get 98, 95 will have to do. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 859571 | 2010-02-18 02:07:00 | Almost all of the Mitsubishi models listed are tuned to run on lower cost 91 octane but will not be adversely affected running 98 if that is the owner’s wish www.mmnz.co.nz |

| 859572 | 2010-02-18 04:06:00 | If the engine is a GDI and the car is imported used from Japan, then you would do best to use the highest you can get. You will find that it will idle quite rough on 91 and it would probably run less economically too. The recommended fuel for my 2.4 GDI Legnum is 100 octane (unavailable in NZ). I use BP Ultimate (98 Octane). | ryanjames.powell (13554) | ||
| 859573 | 2010-02-18 06:46:00 | I think you will find most cars with fuel injection will use any octane. The computer will adjust the engine to suit. :) |
