The Sylphy should use 92 or 95 octane gasoline. The Sylphy is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan. Taking the 2021 Sylphy as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1760mm, wheelbase 2700mm, minimum ground clearance 166mm, and curb weight 1188kg. The 2021 Sylphy features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122ps, maximum torque of 155Nm, and maximum power of 90kW. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving a Sylphy for several years, and it's perfectly suitable to use 92-octane unleaded gasoline. The engine compression ratio of the Sylphy isn't particularly high, so 92-octane fuel provides adequate anti-knock properties with good combustion efficiency. While you can use 95-octane fuel, it's unnecessary as the performance improvement is minimal. However, using lower-grade fuel like 90-octane or worse increases the risk of engine knocking, which can cause a 'clicking' sound and damage the engine over time. I recommend checking the owner's manual, as there might be slight variations for different model years. I always refuel at reputable gas stations like Sinopec to ensure clean and reliable fuel quality, preventing impurities from clogging the fuel injectors. Regular maintenance checks on the fuel system help maintain smooth driving, ensuring both safety and peace of mind. Proper fueling habits can extend your car's lifespan and keep it trouble-free for years.

When refueling my Sylphy, I insist on using 92-octane unleaded gasoline. Using the wrong fuel grade can easily cause problems. For example, using gasoline with too low an octane rating may lead to excessively high engine temperatures, resulting in premature wear of components. The Sylphy is designed to work best with 92-octane fuel, as its octane value matches the engine's requirements. While 95-octane is more expensive but not harmful, it's simply a waste of money. I once encountered a friend who used substandard fuel, causing severe engine vibration and costing thousands in repairs. Always ensure you refuel at reputable gas stations and avoid cheap, unlicensed stations. Regularly check the fuel cap seal to prevent dirt from entering. Maintaining the fuel system properly is key to extending your car's lifespan.

For my Nissan Sylphy, I prefer using 92-octane gasoline as it's cost-effective. Filling up with 95-octane costs dozens more per tank without noticeable driving differences. The Sylphy's engine is optimized for 92-octane, delivering normal fuel consumption and sufficient highway power. Never compromise by using lower-grade fuel - it damages the engine and leads to costly repairs. Always refuel at reputable stations to prevent carbon buildup and injector clogging. Overall, 92-octane offers economical efficiency, perfect for daily commuting.

I commute daily with my Nissan Sylphy, and I'm most accustomed to using 92-octane gasoline. It starts smoothly and accelerates steadily. I've tried 95-octane fuel, which felt a bit quieter, but the cost-performance ratio wasn't as good. For city driving conditions, 92-octane is sufficient, and there's no need to upgrade. I always refuel at large chain gas stations to ensure fuel quality. Regularly changing the fuel filter helps prevent impurity buildup. If you accidentally fill up with the wrong fuel, don't panic—just drive slowly to a repair shop to resolve the issue. For long-term use, 92-octane is suitable for the Sylphy, making maintenance simple and hassle-free.

What is the problem with water leakage on the left side of the car?

Water leakage at the front of the car may be caused by windshield washer fluid or coolant leakage. In the front part of the car, if it's not engine oil, the only two systems with liquids are the windshield washer and coolant systems. Generally, first check the windshield washer pump, pump connections, washer fluid tank, tank connections, and then inspect the pipes. The reasons for water leakage are as follows: 1. The tank is too full: The same applies to coolant. For the tank body, upper and lower tank openings, water pump, pump connections, and pipes, there is an overflow pipe at the coolant tank filler. If the tank is overfilled, when the water temperature rises, it may overflow from the overflow pipe, which is normal. A small trick is to observe the ground where the water is leaking after parking, corresponding to which part of the front of the car is above it. Trace the water marks upwards from the lowest dripping point to easily find the leak. 2. Chassis water leakage: There are generally two possibilities for water leakage from the car chassis: one is exhaust pipe dripping, and the other is air conditioning dripping. Exhaust pipe dripping occurs when the ambient temperature is relatively low, especially in winter, and the car's exhaust pipe drips water outward, which is a very normal phenomenon. Air conditioning dripping happens when the air conditioning is cooling. Due to the evaporation and heat absorption of Freon, the surface temperature of the evaporator is much lower than the "dew point" temperature of the room temperature at that time, causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water.

Can a car start after running out of fuel and then refueling?

When the fuel tank runs empty, air enters the fuel lines. When refueling, add enough fuel to cover the fuel pump, and let the engine idle for a while to expel the air from the fuel lines before starting the car. Nowadays, various types of gasoline contain alcohol components, so in emergencies, alcohol can be mixed in as a substitute for gasoline. Relevant information about car fuel tanks is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car fuel tank is the full name for the automobile fuel container. Currently, with the development of the automotive industry and the revitalization of the domestic automotive sector, the demand for car fuel tanks from major automobile manufacturers has shown a significant upward trend. 2. Design Principle: Utilizing the heat generated by the engine during operation, a thermal circulation system is added between the engine, fuel tank, and radiator. The original single fuel tank design is modified into a combined fuel tank consisting of a main tank and an auxiliary tank.
