What type of fuel does the Nissan Kicks require?
2 Answers
Nissan Kicks requires 92-octane gasoline. Fueling precautions are as follows: 1. Use automotive gasoline only, as improper fuel entering the fuel system may damage the fuel system and engine; 2. Do not use gasoline containing methanol or alcohol; 3. Avoid spilling fuel on painted surfaces to prevent paint damage; 4. If the fuel tank door is frozen and cannot be opened, gently push or tap the door to remove ice before opening; 5. Prevent excessive fuel pressure that may cause spraying; 6. Insert the fuel nozzle deep into the tank to avoid overflow or spillage, which could lead to fire or explosion; 7. Before opening the fuel filler cap or touching the fuel cavity nozzle, touch the vehicle body to discharge static electricity, and avoid re-entering the vehicle during refueling to prevent static buildup.
I've been driving my Nissan Kicks for several years and found that using 92-octane unleaded gasoline works best. The engine is designed to be worry-free, and 92-octane fuel keeps it running smoothly without extra costs. For city driving, the fuel consumption is quite economical, averaging around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. On occasional long trips, 95-octane is acceptable but unnecessary unless you're used to speeding or driving in high-altitude areas. I always fill up at reputable stations like Sinopec or PetroChina for reliable fuel quality. Don't overfill the tank—leave some room to prevent pressure issues. Regularly check the fuel cap to ensure it's properly sealed. Simply put, following the manual's recommendations is always the right choice.
