Might be a dumb question but I’m new to the marque and wonder if it really is necessary to run 98RON fuel in my 987.2 Boxster?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Might be a dumb question but I’m new to the marque and wonder if it really is necessary to run 98RON fuel in my 987.2 Boxster?  Would 91 or 95 be okay? Standby for lots of similar “dumb” questions 😏 and thanks.

95 is okay if you can't find 98. 98 is what you should be using.

Not stupid at all, I asked exactly the same when we picked up our 987.1 Boxster from the well respected Sydney independent we purchased it from.  The recommendation was to use 98 where possible, either BP or Caltex / Ampol.  Steer clear of other cheapies and majors not noted here, unless absolutely necessary. 6 cars in, still follow this, helped by the fact that BP is our closest and most convenient service station.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
