Fuel Information - Subaru BRZ 2017 Owner's Manual

6-1. Specifications

Fuel information

The engine is designed to operate at maximum performance using
unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 98 RON or higher. If 98 RON
fuel is not readily available in your area, unleaded petrol with an
octane rating of 95 RON may be used with no detriment to engine
durability or driveability. However, you may notice a slight decrease
in maximum engine performance and you may hear some knocking
(pinking) of an engine while using 95 RON fuel. Use of 95 RON fuel
will not affect your warranty coverage.
■
Fuel tank opening for unleaded petrol
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your SUBARU has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
■
If your engine knocks
● Consult any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qual-
ified and equipped professional.
●
You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-
ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
