Yes, it's OK. In fact it's highly recommended.

Won't hurt the engine, just your pocket.

Hey man,
Optimax is ok but for the same price you can get BP Ultimate with higher octane. and the optimax degrades over time alot quicker than other known fuels, so I recommend ultimate :)

what he said. Optimax is "around 98 octane"
Ultimate and 8000 are guaranteed 98 or higher

well considering there isn't leaded petrol anymore (for onroad cars) just some shitty replacement crap that clogs the pores of your engines face leading to pimples and sists until it blows its head off, premium unleaded is a good option. :D
