What type of fuel does the Lynk & Co 06 use?
2 Answers
Lynk & Co 06 requires 95 octane gasoline. Below are the hazards of using low-octane gasoline and the functions of gasoline: Hazards of using low-octane gasoline: 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. When the engine has a high compression ratio, high-octane gasoline should be used. If low-octane gasoline is used in a high-compression engine, it can cause abnormal combustion, leading to knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving power. Functions of gasoline: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from the distillation and cracking of petroleum, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, with a distillation range of 30 to 220 degrees, and mainly consists of C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons.
I've been using 92-octane gasoline for my Lynk & Co 06, as the engine compression ratio is designed to be compatible with 92-octane. Last month during a road trip to the northwest, I encountered 95-octane fuel at remote gas stations and filled up a few times, but honestly, there was no noticeable difference in power response or fuel consumption compared to 92-octane. When refueling, I recommend checking the sticker inside the fuel filler cap, which clearly states '92 or above unleaded gasoline recommended.' Just a heads-up: don't try to save money by using substandard fuel. A friend of mine once filled up with low-grade gasoline at a private gas station, which triggered the engine warning light, and cleaning the fuel system cost over a thousand yuan. For daily city commuting, I always use Sinopec's 92-octane, with a stable fuel consumption of around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
