The fuel oil (BBM) produced by PT Pertamina has several different types. Vehicles with gasoline engines use fuel according to the octane rating. The octane rating of fuel is also referred to as the Research Octane Number (RON).

The types of fuel available in Indonesia with different octane ratings include Premium, Pertalite, Pertamax, Pertamax Plus, and Pertamax Turbo. So, among all these types of fuel, which one has the octane rating suitable for filling your car's fuel?

Here is the List of Fuel Octane Ratings You Need to Know

Among the various types of fuel produced by PT Pertamina, each has different specifications and octane ratings. Here is a more detailed explanation of fuel octane ratings.

1. Octane 88 Premium

The Premium fuel type is one of Pertamina's products with the lowest octane rating. The use of Premium fuel is highly recommended for cars with low engine compression, which is 9:1. 

Premium with an octane rating of 88 is more recommended for motor vehicles because of its low compression. 

2. Octane 90 Pertalite

Pertalite fuel has many enthusiasts in Indonesia. This is because this type of fuel is offered at a relatively affordable price. In addition, Pertalite has an octane rating that is suitable for most cars.

Pertalite with an octane rating of 90 is suitable for cars that use gasoline engines with a compression ratio of 9-10:1. The octane rating of Pertalite is higher than that of Premium fuel. With an affordable price, Pertalite can cover long distances while still prioritizing quality.

3. Octane 92 Pertamax

Pertamax is a fuel with a minimum octane rating of 92. The use of Pertamax is more suitable for vehicles such as modern cars with a compression ratio of 10-11:1. Or for vehicles equipped with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) technology.

Not only that, Pertamax has ecosave technology that functions to clean the inside of the engine (detergency). Pertamax is equipped with rust protection on the walls of the vehicle's tank, fuel lines, and combustion chamber.

The combustion process using Pertamax fuel is more perfect because it can maintain the purity of the fuel from water contamination.

4. Octane 98 Pertamax Turbo

Pertamax Turbo was developed by Pertamina and Lamborghini, specifically designed for high-tech car engines. This type of fuel was first launched in 2016 in Belgium.

The octane rating of Pertamax Turbo reaches 98, making it very suitable for engine compression ratios of 11-13:1. Pertamax Turbo is known as an environmentally friendly fuel because it does not damage the air quality around.

Moreover, Pertamax Turbo is still known as a fuel that has many advantages and benefits for engines, including the following.

  • Drivability of the vehicle is improved, making maneuverability more agile
  • The torque produced is higher, which affects good engine acceleration
  • The vehicle's speed increases to the maximum (top speed)
  • The engine power increases
  • The combustion of fuel in the engine is more perfect.

So, that is the list of fuel octane ratings available in Indonesia. Make sure you choose the type of fuel according to the octane level. This also affects the durability of the engine and is more environmentally friendly.
