What type of fuel is recommended for the 10th generation Accord?
2 Answers
The 10th generation Honda Accord is recommended to use 92-octane gasoline. Vehicles have corresponding recommended fuel grades when leaving the factory, and fuel should be added according to the recommended grade. Relevant details are as follows: 1. There are clear regulations on fuel addition before vehicles leave the factory. The type of gasoline to be added depends on the engine's compression ratio. Mixing two types of gasoline can lead to engine knocking, reduced power, increased water temperature, and metallic knocking sounds during operation. Long-term mixing of gasoline can easily cause fuel system blockages and carbon deposits. 2. The gasoline grade is actually the octane rating of the gasoline, calculated based on the engine's anti-knock performance. Generally, the better the anti-knock performance, the higher the gasoline grade that can be used, while lower-grade gasoline is suitable for engines with lower anti-knock performance.
As a long-term owner of the 10th-generation Accord, I drive it to work every day. The manual clearly recommends using 87-octane regular unleaded gasoline, which is what I've been using. The car runs smoothly with fuel consumption maintained at around 6L/100km, even in city traffic jams without excessive fuel consumption. Using 91 or higher octane fuel hasn't shown any particular benefits, just wasting money; never use fuel below 87 octane as it may cause engine knocking and damage. I've also noticed that choosing reputable gas stations ensures reliable fuel quality and avoids impurity buildup. Regular maintenance combined with the right fuel keeps the engine responsive and stable, with no major issues even after years of driving. Simply following the manufacturer's recommendations without unnecessary modifications is the most hassle-free approach, extending the car's lifespan and reducing unexpected repair costs.
