Is it necessary to use 95 octane gasoline for the 2021 CR-V?
1 Answers
2021 Honda CR-V does not require 95 octane gasoline; the manufacturer recommends using 92 octane. Below is a comparison between 92 and 95 octane gasoline: Differences between 95 and 92 octane gasoline: 95 octane gasoline consists of 5% n-heptane and 95% isooctane, while 92 octane gasoline consists of 8% n-heptane and 92% isooctane. The higher the octane rating, the better the anti-knock performance, but the price will also be higher. 95 octane gasoline has a higher octane rating than 92 octane, making it more stable and easier to burn, thus delivering more power than 92 octane. 95 and 92 octane gasoline should not be mixed for long-term use: Occasionally mixing the two in special circumstances generally won't cause major issues, but long-term use can lead to knocking, insufficient power, etc. Similarly, using 92 octane gasoline in a car designed for 95 octane occasionally won't cause major problems, but prolonged use can increase knocking frequency and accelerate engine wear.
