What type of gasoline should the Borgward BX5 use?
1 Answers
Borgward BX5 uses 92-octane gasoline. The method and basis for gasoline selection are introduced as follows: Gasoline selection method: The difference between 92-octane and 95-octane gasoline is not significant, mainly in the octane rating, which affects the anti-knock performance. The choice should be based on the engine's compression ratio. You can refer to the vehicle's manual, which specifies the engine's compression ratio and the recommended gasoline grade. Basis for gasoline selection: Compact cars generally have engines with moderate requirements, with compression ratios between 8.6 and 9.9. Mid-size cars have engines with compression ratios between 10 and 11.5. For compression ratios exceeding 11.5, higher-octane gasoline may be considered, as these engines are typically found in luxury brand vehicles with strong performance. Engines with compression ratios between 8.6 and 9.8 are suitable for 92-octane gasoline, while those between 10 and 11.5 are suitable for 95-octane gasoline.
