I would also put a splash of octane booster in as well just to be on the safe side .

octant boost is for when you cant get 99ron and can only fined 95ron good to keep some in the car just in case but no need to add to and 99ron fuels

You should be fine running it on V Power or Tesco's Momentum, I was in the same boat when I first had mine
