Should the Equinox use 92# or 95# gasoline?
1 Answers
The Equinox is equipped with two turbocharged engines across all models, so it is recommended to use 95# gasoline. Differences between gasoline grades: Gasoline with different grades has different octane ratings. The higher the grade, the higher the octane rating, and the better the anti-knock performance. If the gasoline grade is too low, the anti-knock performance will be poor, which can lead to engine knocking during operation. Knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine. When the piston is in the compression stroke, it moves upward to compress the air-fuel mixture, increasing its pressure and temperature. If the gasoline's anti-knock performance is insufficient, the air-fuel mixture may ignite before the spark plug fires. Which vehicles are suitable for 92# gasoline: Most naturally aspirated engines can use 92# gasoline.
