Hi everyone,

I just picked up my 2013 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 with nav today. I looked in the owners manuel and checked what kind of fuel to use. It says 87 or higher. I dont know if i should just use 87 or the super or what. Which one should i stick with??


Thanks,


Zack

 

Does the manual indicate that 87 aki fuel will degrade the performance or fuel economy? If not then use 87, if so then it's your call.

 

It says " Fuel recommendation: Unleaded gasoline, pump octane 87 or higher"
Under that it says" Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause a persistent, heavy metallic knocking noise that can lead to engine damage"


Thanks,

Zack

 

In other words, unless you're up over 5,000' MSL, don't use less than 87 AKI fuel.
