Refueling

Use the proper fuel and refueling procedure to ensure the best performance
and safety of your vehicle.
n Fuel Information
Use of unleaded gasoline of 91 octane or higher is recommended.
• Acura recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
We recommend quality gasoline containing detergent additives that
help prevent fuel system and engine deposits. In addition, in order to
maintain good performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we
strongly recommend the use of gasoline that does NOT contain harmful
manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT, if such gasoline is
available.
