RON95 vs. RON97 – Which One Should You Use?

When it comes to choosing between RON95 and RON97 petrol in Malaysia, many drivers are unsure which is best for their vehicle. With fluctuating Malaysia petrol prices, it's essential to know what you're paying for and whether it's worth upgrading to RON97 or sticking to RON95.

What is RON?

RON stands for Research Octane Number, which measures a fuel's resistance to engine knocking. The higher the RON, the better the fuel resists premature combustion. In Malaysia, we have two common options:

• RON95 – The more affordable and commonly used petrol.

• RON97 – A higher-octane fuel with better performance but at a higher cost.

RON95: Pros and Cons

• More affordable – Priced lower than RON97, making it the preferred choice for most drivers. 
• Widely available – Available at almost every petrol station in Malaysia. 
•  Lower performance – May not be suitable for high-performance vehicles.

RON97: Pros and Cons

• Better engine performance – Ideal for turbocharged and high-performance vehicles. 
• Cleaner fuel – Produces fewer carbon deposits, extending engine life. 
• Expensive – Costs significantly more than RON95.

Which Fuel Should You Choose?

For regular cars, RON95 is sufficient. If you own a luxury or performance car, using RON97 may be beneficial. However, always refer to your vehicle’s manual to determine the recommended fuel type.
