Can I use Primium 91 petrol for Pajero in Kuwait climate?? is there any problem for if Use this instead of Super 95?
My car has 63000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
As a United States based online mechanic service, we’re not that aware of the different climate changes in Kuwait. However, in general, when you have extreme heat, keeping your fuel consistent is very important for overall performance and engine efficiency. A change of fuel from 95 to 91 octane is a rather large jump; so you might want to seek advice from a local mechanic for your application.

Unleaded premium fuel has an octane rating which shows how well the fuel resists pressure and premature ignition. Premium petrol can also help to reduce friction, resulting in cleaner engine components and a more efficient performance.
A vehicle`s diesel fuel pump operates on very fine tolerances and they`re lubricated by the viscose diesel fuel. Therefore, if you run petrol through a diesel system you`ll strip the lubricant, causing the pumps to run dry and ultimately damage them from the metal-to-metal contact.

Octane rating is the measure of a fuel’s ability to resist "knocking" or "pinging" during combustion, caused by the air/fuel mixture detonating prematurely in the engine. Most gasoline vehicles with factory engines (assuming no modifications) are designed to run on 87 octane, but others are designed to use higher octane fuel. Higher octane fuels are often required or recommended for engines that use a higher compression ratio and/or use supercharging or turbocharging to force more air into the engine. Increasing pressure in the cylinder allows an engine to extract more mechanical energy from a given air/fuel mixture but requires higher octane fuel to keep the mixture from pre-detonating. In these engines, high octane fuel will improve performance and fuel economy. Using a lower octane fuel than required can cause the engine to run poorly and can damage the engine and emissions control system over time. It may also void your warranty. In older vehicles, the engine can make an audible "knocking" or "pinging" sound. Many newer vehicles can adjust the spark timing to reduce knock, but engine power and fuel economy will still suffer. As always, it is best to refer to your vehicle’s specific owner’s manual which will indicate the specific octane requirement for your vehicle’s engine model.
oil provides optimum fuel economy and durability performance meeting all requirements for your vehicle’s engine." For sure, fuel economy will be degraded if you use the higher (30 weight) viscosity. But, the statement from Ford also implies that use of oil other than 5W-20, such as 5W-30, will reduce the service life ("durability") of the engine. Consequently, I would stick with the 5W-20. Synthetic oil is much preferred, of course. YourMechanic does offer mobile oil and filter changes. If you desire that service, please request an oil/filter change and the responding certified mechanic will perform that for you right at your location.
