Should New Cars Use Premium Gasoline?
1 Answers
New cars do not require premium gasoline; simply use the octane rating specified for the vehicle. Break-in period considerations for new cars: After starting a new car, it's advisable to let it warm up for a while to allow the lubricating oil to circulate and fully lubricate the engine. This is particularly important for vehicles with turbocharged engines. Avoid high-speed driving during the break-in period—keeping the speed below 80 km/h is recommended, preferably not exceeding 100 km/h, and the engine RPM should ideally stay under 3,000. Fueling precautions: Use automotive gasoline only. Improper fuel can damage the fuel system and engine. Avoid gasoline containing methanol or alcohol. Take care not to spill fuel on painted surfaces to prevent damage. If the fuel door is frozen and cannot be opened, gently push or tap it to remove ice and open the door.
