Can a car originally using 95 gasoline switch to 92 gasoline?
1 Answers
A car originally using 95 gasoline should not switch to 92 gasoline, as it may cause the following impacts: 1. Damage to the engine, spark plugs, and the car's ignition system; 2. Shortening the engine's service life. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation or cracking. At room temperature, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow, easily flowing liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water. Mixing different grades of gasoline can lead to incomplete combustion, carbon deposits, and a shortened engine lifespan. Gasoline grades are classified based on octane ratings, which represent the ratio of the gasoline's anti-knock properties to those of standard gasoline. Higher grades indicate stronger anti-knock performance, but higher grades are not necessarily better. It is essential to choose the appropriate gasoline grade based on the engine's compression ratio.
