Should the Patrol use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?
2 Answers
The Patrol should use 95 octane gasoline. Here are some details about the Patrol model: 1. Exterior: The exterior mainly highlights the Patrol's rugged off-road style, catering to off-road enthusiasts for long-distance travel, sand driving, and traversing. 2. Powertrain: In terms of power, the new vehicle is equipped with a 4.0L V6 engine, delivering a maximum power of 205kW (279PS) and a maximum torque of 394Nm. It is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, the new vehicle features an intelligent four-wheel-drive system, offering three driving modes: automatic, high-speed four-wheel drive, and low-speed four-wheel drive. It also provides four driving mode selections: sand, road, rock, and snow.
As a long-time SUV owner, I've driven the Patrol off-roader for several years. Its engine has a high compression ratio, so I recommend using 95-octane gasoline to prevent knocking and ensure smoother engine operation. While 92-octane is cheaper, it can lead to noticeable jerking, slightly increased fuel consumption, and potentially higher repair costs in the long run. It's best to check your vehicle's manual, as Nissan typically recommends 95-octane or higher. Additionally, when driving on highways or carrying heavy loads, using 95-octane provides better acceleration and enhanced safety. Overall, spending a bit more on higher-quality fuel is worthwhile maintenance.
