What type of fuel should be used for the Mercedes-Benz E300?
1 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz E300 should use 95-octane gasoline. It is recommended that owners do not use gasoline with an octane rating lower than 95 for this vehicle. The anti-knock property of automotive gasoline is indicated by the octane number; the higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock performance. The anti-knock capability of gasoline is related to its chemical composition. The Mercedes-Benz E series utilizes three types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers 184 horsepower and a maximum torque of 280 Nm, with the maximum torque achieved between 3,000 to 4,000 rpm and the maximum power at 6,100 rpm. The low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 258 horsepower and a maximum torque of 370 Nm, with the maximum torque available from 1,800 to 4,000 rpm and the maximum power at 6,100 rpm. The high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine generates 299 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, with the maximum torque achieved between 3,000 to 4,000 rpm and the maximum power at 6,100 rpm.
