Gasoline Specifications
Important: Using the recommended fuel (gasoline) is important for proper maintenance of the engine. To help keep the engine clean and maintain optimum vehicle performance, it is recommended to use gasoline advertised as TOP TIER detergent gasoline. Any resulting engine damage due from the use of unapproved fuel (gasoline) would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Notice: Do not use ethanol fuel (E85) in the vehicle. The engine is not designed for this fuel, and serious engine damage will result if it is used.
Gasoline should meet the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specification D4814 in the United States or CAN/CGSB-3.5 or 3.511 in Canada. Some gasolines contain an octane-enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). The use of gasolines containing MMT is not recommend. Gasoline containing MMT can reduce the life of spark plugs and the performance of the emission control system could also be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) might come on if gasoline with MMT is used. If this happens, take the vehicle to a dealer for service.
