Volvo 760 Turbo - fuel additive - Big Cat
Our Volvo 760 Turbo (B230ET engine) needs 'SuperGreen' 98 Octane unleaded. This is not easily available so have been using LRP. Been told by the Volvo owners club not to use LRP in a turbo engine:

1. Why?

2. Can I use Millers VSP and fill up with unleaded 95?

The car can run happily on unleaded, it just needs the 98 stuff.

depends on date.the last 2.740`s I worked on was ok to use unleaded
they where 2.3litre turbo intercoolers.it did not have any problems in the time I serviced the cars.as I remember where around F reg.IIRC any car could run on unleaded after around 1987 poss earlier.any correction would be welcome?
