7th Gen Civic gas requirement.
 

Apparently for the non V-tec 1.7L.

While I was at the dealer Sat., I learned that these new motors require ONLY the regular grade gas, and specifically Sunoco 87.

Sunoco has the lowest sulphur content, of all gas companies (Sunoco is also Pioneer gas FYI). The sulphur is what the Canadian market gets for the colder climate, and it contributes to rapidly destroying catalytic converters, o2 sensors and spark plugs.

Apparently, only, and only Sunoco 87 should be used in these motors, and nothing else.

In California, where the gas mixture is drastically different, spark plugs last the *life* of the car, where as here we have them replaced in the same motor, every 3 years. An interesting note I thought.

Especially considering the new "wider" band 0 - 5 volt o2s for ULEVs are used, I wouldn't want to be replacing it (it appears that there are atleast two in use in this motor). Anybody priced out one of these? :eek:

Even the 2.4 iVTEC is recommended at 86 +

when Sunoco gives me 5% off like i get using another brand i'll switch..
i've got warranty for now should something pO2p..
and with what i'll save until the warranty expires i'll be able to get enuf sensors for 50 cars :D

you Petro Canada Bastard :cry:

it ain't my fault..
the perk came with the job :D

What do you do for Petro-Can? I used to work at one, and b/c of the Tactrol additive, I tend to use it the most...then Shell, finally Sunoco. Once I boost, it will be Sunoco Ultra 94 all the way.

i'm at one of the refineries..

that's all i can tell ya tho..
gotta maintain my anonymnity.. :D

Lemme guess...you are the man responsible for peeing in the tanks in order to fine tune the octane content :D

Your the Bastard who raise's the gas price on us aren't you! Quick get him guy's. LOL:joke:

nah, that's the shyt's in Calgary.. :banghead:

:wavey: I know where
