What kind of fuel does the Highlander use?
2 Answers
Toyota Highlander can use gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or above. Currently, China's National (IV) gasoline has three grades: 90, 93, and 97. National (V) gasoline has grades of 89, 92, and 95. The gasoline grades are classified by octane rating. Relevant information about gasoline is as follows: 1. Introduction: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled and cracked from petroleum, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. 2. Important characteristics: The key properties of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock quality, corrosiveness, and cleanliness.
I've been driving a Highlander for several years and usually fill it with 92-octane gasoline, which is affordable and sufficient. The manual recommends this grade, and the engine runs smoothly without causing any damage. For long trips or when I want to test performance, switching to 95-octane fuel makes the acceleration feel quicker, though it costs a bit more. When choosing fuel, pick a reliable gas station and avoid off-brand fuels, as they can clog the nozzles and affect fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance is crucial—check the fuel system and air filter every 5,000 kilometers to extend the car's lifespan. Don’t overlook checking the headlights either; safety comes first when driving at night.
