Volvo

E10 petrol is cleared for use in all Volvo cars with petrol engines introduced to the market

since 1976 based upon servicing and other conditions according to the equipment and

material with which the vehicle was originally equipped.

E10 petrol is not cleared for a limited number of S/V40 models with petrol engines produced

in the mid-1990s with engine type 1.8 GDI. These should continue to use E5.

I'm still not sure if my vehicle is E10 compatible

If you're not sure if you can use E10 in your vehicle:

  • check the vehicle owner's manual, the instructional booklet is specific to your vehicle
  • look inside of the fuel filler flap
  • ask the car, motorcycle or scooter manufacturer / local dealer

If you're still not sure, use E5 petrol. It will still be available in the super grade at many filling stations.
