What type of gasoline should Baojun use?
2 Answers
Baojun can use gasoline models such as 92, 93, and 97. Timely Refueling: Both new and old cars should be refueled promptly because the fuel pump generates heat during operation. If the fuel level is insufficient, the fuel pump cannot dissipate heat in time, accelerating aging. Therefore, it's best to refuel when the tank is down to a quarter. Choosing High-Quality Fuel: When refueling, choose gas stations with better fuel quality, preferably state-owned ones. Some private stations might use inferior fuel for profit, which can damage the car. Pay Attention to the Fuel Grade: Always pay attention to the fuel grade when refueling. For example, a car that requires 95-grade gasoline should use 95-grade fuel—always match the correct grade. The required fuel grade is usually indicated on the fuel tank cap. Although a 95-grade car can run on 92-grade gasoline, prolonged use may affect the car. Fuel Amount: Avoid overfilling the tank to minimize trips to the gas station. Generally, stop at the first click of the fuel nozzle, which means the tank is about 80-90% full. This leaves enough space in the tank to accommodate vapors from fuel evaporation. Refueling Time: It's best to refuel in the early morning or evening when temperatures are lower, reducing fuel evaporation and waste.
I remember the salesperson specifically mentioned when I bought the car that all Baojun models are recommended to use 92-octane gasoline. The engine design is quite down-to-earth with a low compression ratio, so the anti-knock performance of 92-octane gas is completely sufficient. Some people insist on using 95-octane for psychological comfort, but in reality, you can't feel any difference when driving. I've been driving a Baojun 730 for four years, always filling up with 92-octane from small gas stations, and now at 100,000 kilometers, there are no carbon deposit issues. Of course, the label on the fuel cap recommending 92-octane is the best reference—manufacturers wouldn't lie about that. The only thing to watch out for is not to skimp and use low-quality gasoline, as damaging the fuel pump could cost you three tanks' worth of 95-octane repairs.
