Range Rover: Octane rating - Fuel and refuelling - Range Rover Owner's ManualRange Rover: Octane rating

Premium unleaded gasoline with a Cost of Living Council (CLC) or Anti Knock Index (AKI) octane rating of 91 or higher should be used.

NOTICE NOTICE

Even a very small amount of leaded fuel will damage your vehicle’s emission control system and could invalidate the emissions warranty. in addition, leaded fuel will damage the oxygen sensors in the fuel injection system and also seriously damage the catalytic converter.

Note: Federal law requires that gasoline octane ratings be posted on the pumps.

Note: Mid or regular grade gasoline with a CLC or AKI rating of not lower than 87 may also be used, but performance and fuel economy will be reduced.

Using unleaded fuel with a lower than recommended octane rating, can cause a persistent, heavy engine knock (a metallic rapping noise). If severe, this can lead to engine damage.

Note: Occasional, light, engine knock experienced while accelerating or climbing hills is acceptable.

If heavy knock is detected, even when using fuel with the recommended octane rating, consult your Land Rover Retailer/Authorized Repairer to have the problem corrected. Failure to do so is misuse of the vehicle, for which Land Rover is not responsible.
