do you mean "higher grade" as in better quality? If so No. If your talking about the rating numbers(example:10w30) you go by the lowest temp weather your riding will be in and highest temp weather. I don't know how that whole thing exactly works but the numbers deal with viscosity of the oil. Just use what the manufacturer of your bike tells you.

Is regular gas best for 2000 corolla?

Regular gas is the recommend grade of gasoline for the 2000 Corolla. You can use a higher grade, if regular is not availalbe. No damage or performance changes will be present. In some cases, due to the natural accumulation of deposits in the engine, some high mileage examples will exhibit less engine "pinging" under heavier loads or even experience a slight increase in fuel economy.


What will happen if i run unleaded gas in a leaded fuel engine?

I don't believe there is a such thing as a leaded fuel engine. All gasoline is unleaded, some just a higher grade.


Is there any possibility of serious engine damage when low octane number gasoline is used?

Yes, using low octane gasoline in an engine designed for higher octane fuel can lead to serious engine damage over time. This is primarily due to knocking or pinging, where fuel ignites prematurely in the combustion chamber, causing increased pressure and potential damage to components like pistons and valves. Persistent knocking can lead to reduced performance, efficiency, and ultimately, catastrophic engine failure if not addressed. It's essential to use the fuel grade recommended by the manufacturer to avoid these risks.


What are the disadvantages of burning low-grade fuels?

Burning low-grade fuels can release higher levels of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can contribute to poor air quality and health problems. Additionally, low-grade fuels may produce lower energy output compared to higher-grade fuels, leading to decreased efficiency in combustion processes.


A 1987 Ford Crown Victoria's engine stays running even when the ignition is off. What does this mean?

If you mean it ( diesel's ) then eventually shuts off, then this is due to low grade fuel as to where the timing is set on the engine. Two options, change to higher grade fuel, or have timing checked or lowered. In either case, this is not good for the engine.


What is the danger of high compression in a spark ignition engine?

If the pressure is too high for the grade of fuel, you will get 'pinking' or 'pinging'. This is the term for pre-ignition. The fuel will explode instead of burning rapidly, and makes a metallic rattling or 'pinking' sound. This can damage the valves and piston crown if left to continue. High compression engines need a better grade of fuel, a higher Octane number.


What would cause a ticking noise in the engine when going up a hill?

What is the number on the head of the bolt mean.Please give examples.?

It signifies the grade of a bolt. For a load bearing bolt where it's failure could cause injury or damage, you should use a high grade bolt. 5-9 are higher grades.


What kind of gas should be used for a 1998 Honda prelude?

The 2.2 liter VTEC (H22A) engine recommends top grade (premium) fuel due to higher compression. You may use lower grade (lower octane) fuel but run the risk of damaging the engine and will surely reduce engine performance and reduce fuel economy.
