What kind of fuel does a Mercedes-Benz use?
1 Answers
Generally, Mercedes-Benz vehicles require at least 95-octane gasoline, while high-performance AMG models typically need 98-octane gasoline. Here are the specific details about refueling: Differences between 95 and 92 octane: Although 95-octane gasoline offers higher anti-knock performance and power, vehicles designed for lower octane should not blindly opt for higher octane fuel. Higher octane numbers are more suitable for engines with larger compression ratios. Engines in cars designed for 92-octane often have smaller compression ratios, and using 95-octane gasoline may increase engine knocking. Hazards of mixing 95 and 92 octane: Different octane grades of gasoline should not be mixed. For example, mixing 92 and 95-octane gasoline is not recommended. Long-term use of mixed fuels may negatively impact the engine, potentially leading to carbon deposits and increased fuel consumption.
