Your Honda is designed to operate
on unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane number of 86 or higher. Use
of a lower octane gasoline can cause
a persistent, heavy metallic rapping
noise in the engine that can lead to
mechanical damage.
In Canada, some gasolines contain
an octane-enhancing additive called
MMT. If you use such gasolines,
your emission control system
performance may deteriorate and
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
your instrument panel may turn on.
If this happens, contact your
authorized Honda dealer for service.
Using gasoline containing lead will
damage your vehicle’s emissions
controls. This contributes to air
pollution.
We recommend gasolines containing
detergent additives that help prevent
fuel system and engine deposits.
If you drive with the low engine
speed (below than about 1,000 rpm),
you may feel the engine knocking. In
this case, you can use premium
unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane number of 91 or higher to
prevent the engine from knocking.
