What grade of gasoline should the Lamando use?
2 Answers
The Lamando uses 95-octane gasoline. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled or cracked from petroleum. At room temperature, it appears as a colorless to light-yellow, easily flowing liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water and highly flammable. Taking the 2021 Lamando as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4615mm, width 1826mm, height 1425mm, wheelbase 2656mm, and fuel tank capacity 51L. The 2021 Lamando is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 96kW and maximum torque of 225Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It adopts a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
I previously drove a Lamando for several years. This car recommends using 95-octane gasoline, as the turbocharged engine requires high octane to prevent knocking and engine damage. While using 92-octane fuel may be cheaper, it can lead to reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and even damage to the spark plugs. Both the manual and the fuel tank cap are labeled with 95-octane, and sticking to it helps protect the engine's lifespan. I believe it's more reliable to choose reputable gas stations when refueling regularly to avoid impurity issues. The fuel octane rating is crucial for long-term maintenance—don’t save small money only to spend big on repairs later. It’s best to consult a technician during maintenance. After all, a well-maintained car runs smoothly, giving you peace of mind while driving.
