What type of fuel should the Enclave GX use?
1 Answers
The Enclave GX is recommended to use 95 or higher octane fuel for optimal performance. Enclave gasoline compression ratio: "The higher the compression ratio, the higher the required gasoline octane rating. A compression ratio of 7.5-8.0 should use 90-93 octane gasoline; a compression ratio of 8.0-8.5 should use 90-93 octane gasoline; a compression ratio of 8.5-9.0 should use 93-95 octane gasoline; a compression ratio of 9.5-10.0 should use 95-97 octane gasoline." (The Enclave has a compression ratio of 9.5), while the manual specifies 92 or above, but recommends 93 and 97. Gasoline grade categories: Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is divided into grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on the octane value. Gasoline is refined from various gasoline components obtained through petroleum refining, including straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.
