Why does Volkswagen use 95 octane gasoline?
1 Answers
Volkswagen uses 95 octane gasoline for the following reasons: 1. The difference in gasoline grades is only the difference in the octane value of the additives (octane value affects anti-knock). The higher the corresponding gasoline grade, the higher the octane value, and the better the anti-knock performance, making it more suitable for high-compression ratio engines. Most of Volkswagen's vehicle series are equipped with turbocharged engines, which have a high compression ratio. 2. Lower-grade gasoline has higher lead and gum content. If a vehicle that requires 95 octane gasoline is filled with 92 octane or lower gasoline, it can cause engine knocking, damaging the engine, oxygen sensors, and other components.
