Can the Lamando use 92-octane gasoline?
1 Answers
Lamando is not allowed to use 92-octane gasoline. The Lamando is equipped with turbocharged engines, so this vehicle requires 95-octane or higher premium unleaded gasoline, which must comply with the GB18352.5 and GB17930 standards. Using leaded gasoline can severely damage the engine and its fuel system, and may also reduce engine power or cause the engine to fail. The Lamando is a compact sedan under the Volkswagen brand. It comes with two engine options: a low-power version of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power version of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The recommended fuel grade for the Volkswagen Lamando can be found on the label inside the fuel tank filler cap. If you must use gasoline with a lower octane rating than 95, you should avoid high-speed, high-load operation of the engine, as overloading can damage the engine. Instead, operate the engine at moderate speeds. Higher-octane gasoline burns more slowly, reducing combustion knock and requiring a higher engine compression ratio. Conversely, lower-octane fuel burns faster, causing more combustion knock and requiring a lower compression ratio. Fast-burning low-octane gasoline requires delayed ignition timing, while slow-burning high-octane fuel requires advanced ignition timing. Therefore, if a car designed for 95-octane gasoline is filled with 92-octane fuel, it is more likely to experience knocking. Knocking can lead to reduced engine power, increased temperature, higher load and wear on internal engine components, increased carbon deposits, and deformation of engine parts due to elevated temperatures.
