Hi there,

E10 will be fine for your car, and foe added protection i suggest that you use an upper cylinder lube additive with each tank full of fuel, something like flash lube ore any over the counter additive will be fine.

To add to Mark's great advice:

It is Methanol you want to avoid, at ANY level.

Almost all cars from the mid-eighties on can run on E-10. Expect slightly lower mileage.
