What type gas should I use?
What octane gas should I use? You should use whatever octane level is required for your car specified by the owner’s manual. Generally, regular fuel is 87 octane, premium is 91 or 93, and midgrade is somewhere in the middle; often 89.
Can I mix 91 gas if I still have some 87 on the tank?
If you usually fill your tank up with 87-octane gasoline and you accidentally put in a higher octane blend (say, 91, 92, or 93), don’t worry. You’re actually filling your car or truck with a different blend of gas, which means it will burn differently in your engine.
Why does my 2000 Ford Expedition need refrigerant?
As your 2000 Ford Expedition ages, the air conditioning unit will gradually lose its ability to cool the cabin of the vehicle. This is most often because the air conditioner unit needs to be recharged with refrigerant. The refrigerant cools the air that the blower forces into the vehicle.
How do you put refrigerant in an expedition?
Attach the other side of the recharge hose on the low side fitting. Start the Expedition’s engine. Turn the air conditioner to the highest setting. Open the valve on the R134A refrigerant can. Lift the can to allow the refrigerant to enter the air conditioning unit.
When to recharge your Ford Expedition air conditioner?
Recharging your Expedition’s air conditioner each spring will help prevent the possibility of having the air conditioner stop working in the middle of summer. Wear eye protection and gloves when recharging your Expedition’s air conditioning unit to prevent injuries.
Where is the service hose on a Ford Expedition?
Locate the service hoses on the unit. There is a low side hose attached to the accumulator and a high side hose attached to the compressor. Place the recharge service hose on the valve of the R134A refrigerant. Open the valve to puncture the can and close the valve quickly to keep the refrigerant from escaping.

What kind of gas do you use at high elevations?
When traveling at high elevations, you’re likely to see gas stations that sell lower-octane fuel — for example, 85-octane regular. The old-school reasoning behind this is that thinner air effectively lowers the engine’s compression ratio, so lower-octane fuel is OK.
What kind of gas does a flex fuel car use?
E85 is a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. Some gasoline-powered vehicles (known as flex-fuel vehicles) can also run on E85; they usually have a bright-yellow fuel cap. A flex-fuel vehicle running on E85 pollutes less but will generally get around 30 percent lower fuel economy.
