Hyundai ix35 uses 92-octane gasoline. Introduction to engine oil: Engine oil grades: Grades include two parts: classification and viscosity specification. Engine oil grades usually indicate viscosity and quality. The viscosity of lubricating oil is mostly identified using SAE grade levels. Functions of engine oil: The functions of engine oil include lubricating pistons and cylinders, assisting in cooling and temperature reduction, sealing to prevent leaks, and preventing excessive wear of parts, which requires the establishment of an oil film between two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby achieving the goal of reducing wear; when the engine is running, the engine oil can bring heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air to help the radiator cool the engine. What really cools the engine is the water outside the engine casing; engine oil can form a sealing ring between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external pollutants from entering. Precautions: When adding engine oil, the amount should be slightly lower than the standard scale. Too much engine oil will increase the rotational resistance of the crankshaft, reduce the output power of the engine, and excessive engine oil may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, causing the vehicle to burn oil, emit blue smoke, and even increase fuel consumption.

I've been driving a Hyundai ix35 for many years and always use 92-octane gasoline. This car is basically designed for this grade, with high engine compatibility, smooth acceleration and no engine damage. Of course, you can use 95-octane, but it's unnecessary to spend more money. When refueling, choose regular gas stations to avoid carbon buildup caused by poor fuel quality. Remind everyone to check the fuel tank cap or manual - if it recommends 92-octane, that's fine. Don't be fooled into wasting money on higher grades. Fuel-saving tip: avoid slamming the accelerator, keep the RPM steady at around 2,000, and you can get over 500 kilometers per tank - economical and practical. During maintenance, check the spark plugs to prevent poor fuel quality from affecting ignition. Simple self-checks on car conditions can avoid major repair troubles. Safe driving habits are also important, especially on highways - check all lights to ensure they're working.

For the Hyundai ix35, choosing 92-octane gasoline is the most cost-effective option. The regular engine version is compatible with 92-octane fuel, which provides sufficient octane to prevent knocking. While 95-octane is over 1 yuan more per liter, the performance improvement is minimal. Switching to 92-octane can easily save you dozens of yuan per month—enough for a pack of cigarettes. It's recommended to refuel at reliable stations like Sinopec or PetroChina, as low-quality gas from unknown brands may contain impurities that trigger the check engine light. For long-term savings: plan routes to avoid traffic congestion, replace the air filter regularly to improve fuel efficiency, and maintain a tested urban fuel consumption of around 8L/100km, which is quite economical. The engine is tuned for fuel efficiency, so avoid mistakenly filling with diesel or lower-octane fuel to prevent engine knocking. Regularly check and maintain recommended tire pressure—this not only saves fuel but also reduces tire wear, killing two birds with one stone.

It is correct to directly use 92 octane gasoline for the ix35, as the engine is designed to this standard. Using the wrong octane rating, such as 95 octane, would be a waste of money or may not suit the engine's compression ratio, potentially causing knocking noises and affecting daily smooth driving. The fuel tank cap indicates the recommended octane rating, and following it ensures safety.
