RON95 and My X-Trail

For my X-Trail, I've used both RON92 and RON97. They both work fine without any issues. Since the new RON95 sits in between there is definitely no problem. The sad part is I'd have to say goodbye to the cheaper RON92 fuel. It was nice knowing you. Alas.. au revoir!

RON92 works fine with X-Trail, my only beef with it is that I get slightly lower mileage. My numbers shows that over time there was no significant dollars and cents saved using RON92 compared to using RON97. Then again my data could be wrong.

Don't know why so many folks were afraid to use RON92. It says very well in our user manual the X will only require a minimum of RON91. Chip's RON List in Motortrader also recently got updated with RON data from Nissan. I was shocked ETCM said the X was not compatible to RON92.

Earlier on, one of the reasons I heard for this was that ETCM did had always played the safe side of things. Less issues with warranty.

Take away notes from this post for those still having doubts on RON95 :-

X-Trail works with RON95 !!!!!

Now go worry about something else :)
