FUEL REQUIREMENTS
This engine is designed to meet all
emission regulations, and provide
s
a
tisfactory fuel economy and
performance when using high-quality
unleaded “Regular” gasoline having a posted
octane number of 87 as specified by the (R+M)/
2
method. For optimal performance the use of
91 or higher octane “Premium” gasoline is
re
commended in these engines.
While operating on gasoline with the required
octane number, hearing a light knocking sound
from the engine is not a cause for concern.
However, if the engine is heard making a heavy
knocking sound, see an authorized dealer
immediately. Use of gasoline with a lower than
recommended octane number can cause engine
failure and may void or not be covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as
hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try another brand of
gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
REFORMULATED GASOLINE
Many areas of the country require the use of
cleaner burning gasoline referred to as
“reformulated gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline
contains oxygenates and are specifically blended
to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air
quality.
The use of reformulated gasoline is
recommended. Properly blended reformulated
gasoline will provide improved performance and
durability of engine and fuel system components.
GASOLINE/OXYGENATE BLENDS
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with
oxygenates such as ethanol.
Problems that result from using gasoline
containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15) or
gasoline containing methanol are not the respon
-
sibility of the manufacturer and may void or not
be covered under New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

CAUTION!
DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing metha-
nol, or gasoline containing more than 15%
e
t
hanol (E-15). Use of these blends may result
in starting and drivability problems, damage
critical fuel system components, cause emis
-
sions to exceed the applicable standard, and/
o
r cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to illu-
minate. Please observe pump labels as they
s
hould clearly communicate if a fuel contains
greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).
