What type of gasoline should be used for the GAC Trumpchi GS4 automatic transmission?
1 Answers
GAC Trumpchi GS4 uses 92-octane gasoline. 92-octane gasoline: 92-octane gasoline has an octane rating of 92 and a heptane rating of 8, making it suitable for mid-range vehicles. On December 18, 2013, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the Standardization Administration of China jointly issued the fifth-phase national standard for automotive gasoline—"Automotive Gasoline" (GB17930—2013, replacing GB17930—2011). Hazards of using the wrong gasoline: Using higher-octane gasoline in a vehicle designed for lower-octane fuel will not cause damage, but the increase in octane rating may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. Conversely, using lower-octane gasoline in a high-octane vehicle can cause engine knocking, as the reduced octane rating lowers the ignition point. If the octane rating is too low, the gasoline engine may behave like a "hybrid diesel engine."
