Will Using 92 Octane Gas in a 95 Octane Car Damage the Engine?
1 Answers
Using 92 octane gasoline in a car designed for 95 octane occasionally for emergencies won't harm the engine, but prolonged use can cause damage. Choosing the right gasoline grade: The selection of gasoline grade is closely related to the engine's design. Higher compression ratios lead to greater power and efficiency, but reduced stability, thus requiring gasoline with better anti-knock properties. Risks of mixing gasoline grades: Occasionally mixing different gasoline grades is acceptable, but long-term mixing can lead to engine knocking, insufficient power, and accelerated engine wear.
