I use regular gasoline for my 2010 Ford F-150 would it be bad to start using a mid grade or premium?
I have about 42000 miles on it I've always used regular it has never been a problem. But if I upgrade to mid grade or premium would it be better for my engine or should I stick with regular? I want my truck to last a long time
It won't do anything at all except cost you more money.
Check your manual. Unless you have a high performance vehicle, the better grades do nothing but drain your pocket.
F-150s don't need premium gasoline. You would be wasting your money. It wouldn't be bad, it's just unnecessary.
There's no benefit to buying higher octane than you need.
Not bad but totally pointless and a waste of money. Premium isn't any better for any engine. It has a higher octane rating for engines that need it.
You won't get any benefit from using any fuel other than regular unleaded.
Seems the higher octane is better myth just will not die. As the others have pointed out using anything other than 87 octane in your Ford is a complete and total waste of money. You will not have more power nor will you get better fuel mileage. In fact using it will, in some cases, make it harder to start. Save you money and stick will 87 octane regular.
Using a higher octane gasoline is not upgrading. Higher octane gas has more octane in it and it is an inhibitor to keep the gas from burning as well to stop pre-ignition.
Does the engine knock under load like climbing a hill? Then changing to a higher octane fuel will stop that. Does your engine run on and knock like a diesel when you try to turn it off? Then changing to a higher octane fuel will stop that. Has your engine been rebuilt using custom parts to greatly raise the compression? Then you might actually need higher octane fuel. For all the rest of us it would be a waste of money. It does not change the way the engine runs, It actually prevents the fuel from detonating at high pressure. Unless your engine has been seriously modified, you do not need it.
It shouldn't but you can still drain your fuel tank then fill it with premium so it wouldn't mixed. Get accessories from Amazon, eBay, Shopatronics, ect. In case you need any.
- What oil grade does a 2005 Ford Transit TDCi 135 T350 take? Can't see any clear answer online for what oil grade this transit takes… Some people say 10w/40 and some say 5w/30! Just needs to know how much the sumps and and what exact oil it has! Plus if it needs to be semi or fully symthetic!
- Is the 1995 Chevy s10's regular cab bigger than the 1996 Ford Ranger's regular cab? I always heard that Chevy trucks have more cab room than old Ford trucks. I'm just thinking if a Chevy s10's regular cab is bigger then the Ford Ranger's regular cab. What's bigger and gives you more space? What smaller and hardly gives you any space?
- Must I put premium gas in my 1965 Ford F100 390 V8 or can i put regular gas? I was told that it needs premium gas and premium gas only. But the guy who I bought the truck from said it was a myth and it takes regular gas. What gas does my Ford F100 390 v8 engine take?!
- How much for an F650? Would you need a special license to drive one or would a regular drivers license work? I'm interested in possibly purchasing a ford F650 and was wondering a price range of it and if I can drive it with a regular license. Also a possible gas mileage and how would I go about buying one?
