JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Using fuel oil ( BBM) for the best vehicle, namely in accordance with ratio compression, not too high or low octane value.
Usually, for the selection of types fuel which is suitable for vehicle manufacturers has provided its own recommendations.
Of course, these recommendations are not given just like that, but have also gone through calculations and adjusting levels compression vehicle.
Newer vehicles usually have a higher compression level, so the fuel used has a Research Octane Number ( RON) the highest.

It’s just that, sometimes vehicle owners cannot be loyal to just one type of gasoline. It is not uncommon for them to change the type of fuel according to their wishes.
Regarding the behavior of the vehicle owner, Dealer Technical Support Dept. Head of PT Toyota Astra Motor ( TAM) Didi Ahadi said, the best use of fuel follows the manufacturer’s standards.
By using the appropriate type of gasoline, it will automatically make the engine performance better because the combustion in the engine room is more perfect.
Not only that, the right use of fuel can also make component the durability of the vehicle is more maintained.

“If you change the type of fuel, for example octane lower will make a build-up of carbon crust in the combustion chamber and make the engine tickle, “said Didi to Kompas.com, Sunday (15/11/2020).
In addition, when a vehicle uses a lower octane fuel it can cause engine performance to also decrease.
Likewise, Didi added, using gasoline with a higher octane would make the engine hotter and could have an impact on vehicle components.
“For example exhaust become more porous due to heat, engine components such as seals, bearings also wear out more quickly. It will also have an impact on exhaust gas emissions, “he said.

Head Auto2000 workshop Cilandak Suparna said that if a vehicle uses fuel whose octane value does not match the recommendation, it will have a bad effect.
“ Fuel should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, not lower or higher because it will have an effect on the engine, “said Suparna.
Suparna added that when a vehicle drinks gasoline with a higher RON, it will cause incomplete combustion in the engine room.
“If the engine is forced to use too high an octane, it will also cause incomplete combustion,” he said.
