What grade of gasoline should the Land Cruiser V6 use?
2 Answers
Toyota Land Cruiser can use 93-octane gasoline, but it is not recommended; 97-octane gasoline should be used instead. Below is a detailed introduction about engine oil: 1. Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is called Engine-oil in English. Its density is approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the deficiencies in the base oil's performance, granting it new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.
I've been using 92-octane gasoline for my Land Cruiser V6 all these years, as the fuel filler cap clearly states 'unleaded gasoline 92 or above'. During my last self-drive trip to Tibet, it ran exceptionally stable on 92-octane fuel, with ample power for uphill climbs on plateaus. The engine's compression ratio is reasonably designed, making 92-octane's anti-knock performance sufficient for daily needs, so there's no need to spend extra on 95-octane. Of course, if I encounter poor-quality fuel at remote gas stations, I temporarily switch to 95-octane to prevent knocking. Additionally, the car starts quickly with 92-octane even in cold conditions, performing reliably at -20 degrees Celsius in winter. For daily city commuting, 92-octane is perfectly adequate and cost-effective, while for long-distance trips, I just carry a bottle of fuel additive as a backup.
