What type of gasoline should be used for Geely JL7181B02?
2 Answers
Geely JL7181B02 can use either 92 or 95 octane gasoline. Avoid overfilling the tank: Overfilling the gasoline tank can easily block the vent hole of the tank. Once the vent hole is blocked, the air pressure inside the tank will be lower than normal, causing poor fuel supply or even no fuel supply. Overfilling the tank also increases the vehicle's weight, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, gasoline can deteriorate, posing a safety hazard to the vehicle. Try to avoid waiting for the low fuel warning to refuel: While driving, always pay attention to the fuel gauge. When the pointer shows a quarter of the fuel remaining, you should refuel. If the tank is left empty for too long, the temperature difference inside and outside the tank can cause moisture to form inside, which can corrode the tank, affect fuel quality, and increase the engine's burden.
I'm a Geely owner, and my car is from the Emgrand series, similar to the JL7181B02 model. Generally, using 92-octane gasoline is fine—it's economical and practical. There's a sticker on the fuel cap indicating the recommended octane rating, such as 92 or 95, so I suggest you check it to confirm. Using 92-octane daily is quite fuel-efficient, and my family saves a lot on monthly fuel costs. If the manual says 95-octane is acceptable, trying it out might be a good idea—the engine could run smoother. But avoid using 87-octane or lower-grade fuel, as it may cause knocking and damage the car. During regular maintenance, inspect the fuel system—for example, clean the fuel injectors every 20,000 kilometers to extend the engine's lifespan. Before long trips, filling up with 95-octane can enhance performance and add some driving fun. Safety comes first—don’t risk using low-quality fuel just to save money. Always refuel at reputable gas stations to avoid future repair hassles.
