I recently purchased a Ford Mondeo its NZ new and was owned first by a local lift company I have no car instructional manual for it anybody know where i can get a paper based one and what is recomended unleaded fuel is it 95 octane or 91? My Mondeo does not have a model name its just Mondeo its a ex Rep car but well equipped I assume its a LX?

nothing really runs on 91 propperly apart from a few orthans like maybe some fal-coons from australia and i think some of the rover mems can be programmed to run low octane with a factory scanner. You looked at carjam.co.nz what it said your mondeo had as engine and then you can get haynes manual for generic fixups on these.

If you mean the user manual that comes with a car, try wreckers. Bound to have one if you search them. 91 is ok, 95 better.

I had a 2005LX 2L petrol, went round nz in it and tried 91, 95 and 98, after that i always used 95.

All Euro cars require 95+. The Ford spec for all Mondeo petrols is 95. Anything less will do damage, anything more is pointless and a waste of $.

My (older) Mondeo requires 95, and if you have to use 91 there is a plug you can pull which presumably brings into play a different map on the engine management system.

we had an '02. it had better mileage on 95. so 95 was for instance 5% dearer but gave 7% better mileage so was actually cheaper than 91.
