Q: I want to know what kind of gas i have to put on the Nissan 350z n why? n what would happen if i put the wrong gas. & do the gas run out fast on the Z? i know it have a bigger cylinder but i want to know if its waste fast?
A: Premium gas. When you look at the gas cap or in the gas door, it says to use premium gas. Premium gas is used in high output engines and forced induction engines. Powerful engines need premium gas because they use different fuel chambers that are made for higher speeds and premium gas. A 180HP+ 4 cylinder engine usually requires premium gas. A 250HP+ 6 cylinder engine usually requires premium gas. A 350HP+ V8 usually requires premium gas. All V10 and V12 engines use premium gas. If you put the wrong gas, you will get engine knocking, which means your engine is coughing and dying. This usually happens after using regular or midgrade gas a couple of times. When that happend, the Nissan dealer or mechanic needs to drain the fuel system. It is not covered under warranty because the gas cap or door has the label saying to use premium gas.
