Should Toyota Levin Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?
1 Answers
Both 92 and 95 octane gasoline are acceptable, but it is best to consistently use one type. There is essentially no significant difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline, with the only distinction being the octane rating. 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane, while 92 octane gasoline is composed of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. Below is a related introduction: Gasoline Octane Rating: The gasoline octane ratings that car owners see actually refer to the ratio of the gasoline's anti-knock performance compared to standard gasoline. For example, 95 octane gasoline indicates that its anti-knock performance is the same as that of standard gasoline containing 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane in research tests. This does not mean that the 95 octane gasoline used in daily life contains 95% octane. Higher Octane Does Not Mean Better Quality: Additionally, a higher octane rating only indicates better anti-knock performance and does not signify better gasoline quality or improved cleaning properties, as no experiment has proven this. Moreover, the vehicle manuals provided to car owners specify the appropriate type of gasoline for their models. It is advisable for car owners not to mix different types of gasoline to avoid causing engine knocking or damage.
