What to Do If 95 Octane Gasoline is Accidentally Filled with 92 Octane?
1 Answers
95 octane gasoline accidentally filled with 92 octane once is not a big deal. Here are the relevant details: 1. Long-term use of lower octane gasoline in high-octane vehicles can severely affect the normal operation of the engine, leading to knocking. In severe cases, it may reduce the engine's lifespan and increase maintenance costs. 2. The fundamental difference between 95 octane and 92 octane gasoline lies in their octane ratings, which essentially means the proportion of anti-knock additives differs. 95 octane gasoline contains a slightly higher proportion of anti-knock additives compared to 92 octane. The quality of both gasoline types is exactly the same, with no difference in cleanliness or other factors. The only variation is the amount of anti-knock additives, designed to meet the different anti-knock requirements of engines with varying compression ratios.
