I also hear some different stories about which fuel you can use best for it, 91 or 96 octane? Anyone any ideas on this?
Thanx!

Gidday mate, I've just signed up and have the same questions
I'd really like to know the answer to the octane question, the dealer put 91 (RON) in the car when I bought it, but I'm sure that's just because it's cheaper, not because he knows what fuel it runs on. I assume the engine has a knock sensor and will de-tune it's self when you run too low an octane (but assumptions can blow up engines). Lets hope someone can answer this thread, I don't know if the 3.0 Windom is exactly the same as the NZ Camry, it may be that the Windom has higher compression but I don't know!!!
As for manuals have a look at....

And the Camry workshop manual will probably have everything you need ...
