What Type of Fuel Does the Magotan Use?
2 Answers
The Magotan requires fuel with an octane rating of 95 or higher. Taking the 2013 Magotan as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with the following dimensions: length 4865mm, width 1820mm, height 1475mm, a wheelbase of 2812mm, a minimum ground clearance of 114mm, and a curb weight of 1470kg. The 2013 Magotan features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 131PS, a maximum torque of 220Nm, and a maximum power output of 96kW. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a frequent driver of the Magotan, I have extensive experience with refueling. Generally speaking, 95-octane unleaded gasoline is the best choice because the Magotan's engine has a high compression ratio. Using lower-octane fuel like 92-octane can easily cause knocking, leading to power loss or engine wear. For my daily commute, the fuel consumption with 95-octane remains stable at around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, which actually saves money in the long run. Additionally, it's important to refuel at reputable stations like Shell or Sinopec to avoid performance issues from poor-quality fuel. Regular checks of tire pressure and engine oil are also crucial. Fully synthetic oil is recommended to be changed every 5,000 kilometers to keep the engine running smoothly. The car performs more steadily on highways, and with proper maintenance, it can last for many more years.
