Can You Mix E5 And E10 Petrol NISSAN X-Trail (T32) (10.2013 - ...)

Good news! It’s perfectly safe to mix E5 and E10 petrol in your 2019 Nissan X-Trail EcoDrive. They both contain ethanol, with E5 having up to 5% and E10 up to 10%, so mixing them just results in a blend somewhere in between.

Most modern petrol cars, including yours which is built after 2011, are designed to handle E10 without any issues. Mixing E5 and E10 won’t cause engine problems, reduce fuel efficiency, or harm performance. Think of it like blending two similar drinks—the result is just a little bit of both, no nasty surprises.

If you happen to fill up with E10 but usually use E5, no worries! There’s no need to drain the tank or panic. Just top up with your preferred grade next time.

As a tip, always check your vehicle’s manual or the fuel filler cap if you want to be sure, but in your case, mixing E5 and E10 is no big deal. You can think of it as giving your X-Trail a smooth, ethanol-infused treat that’s both safe and eco-friendly! 🌿⛽🚙

Absolutely safe!

Your 2019 Nissan X-Trail is fully compatible with E10 gasoline (and, by extension, E5).

Blending E5 and E10 (to produce 5-10% ethanol) will not cause engine problems.

The only caveat: theoretically, switching to pure E10 may slightly (1-2%) increase fuel consumption, as ethanol is less energy-dense. In practice, this increase is unlikely to be noticeable.
