Don;t touch it unless you can't get Optimax.
The knocklink illuminates much more when I use the orrible BP stuff.

I phoned the support line on the leaflet and was told its not been graded yet but they're hoping for 98 RON, but until its been confirmed its not worth risking it as it could be 97 or worse!

I've used it twice on my tek'd 99 turbo (which overfuels like mad anyway), knock is showing nothing and feels like super unleaded!

Optimax is your man still I think!
