NOTICE:
If you try to do your own service work without
knowing enough about it, your vehicle could be
damaged.
Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or
higher. It should meet specifications ASTM D4814 in
the United States and CGSB 3.5-92 in Canada. These
fuels should have the proper additives, so you should not
have to add anything to the fuel.
In the United States and Canada, it's easy to be sure you
get the right kind of gasoline (unleaded). You'll see
UNLEADED right on the pump. And only unleaded
nozzles will fit into your vehicle's filler neck.
Be sure the posted octane is at least 87. If the octane is
less than 87, you may get a heavy knocking noise when
you drive. If it's bad enough,
it
can damage your engine.
If you're using fuel rated at 87 octane or higher and
you still hear heavy knocking, your engine needs
service. But don't worry if you hear a little pinging
noise when you're accelerating or driving up a hill.
