Fuels In Foreign Countries; Fuel Additives (Gasoline); Fuel For Diesel Engines - Chevrolet 2015 Cruze Owner's Manual

Fuels in Foreign
Countries
If planning to drive in countries
outside the U.S. or Canada, the
proper fuel might be hard to find.
Check regional auto club or fuel
retail brand websites for availability
in the country where driving. Never
use leaded gasoline, fuel containing
methanol, manganese, or any other
fuel not recommended. Costly
repairs caused by use of improper
fuel would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.

Fuel Additives (Gasoline)

To keep fuel systems clean, TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline is
recommended. See Fuel (Gasoline)
on page 9-51.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is
not available, one bottle of Fuel
System Treatment PLUS added to
the fuel tank at every engine oil
change, can help. Fuel System
Treatment PLUS is the only
gasoline additive recommended by
General Motors. It is available at
your dealer.

Fuel for Diesel Engines

Caution
Use of diesel fuel other than Ultra
Low Sulfur Diesel (15 ppm sulfur
maximum) will cause damage to
the exhaust after-treatment
system. This damage would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not use marine,
locomotive, or boiler distillate fuel
since it may contain higher sulfur
levels.
The emission control system
requires the use of diesel fuel with
ultra low sulfur content (15 ppm or
0.0015% by weight, maximum).
Look for the following label on the
dispenser to ensure you are filling
with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel.
Driving and Operating
At a minimum, the diesel fuel you
use should meet the latest version
of ASTM specification D 975
(Grades number 2-D or number 1-D
S15, commonly known as Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel) in the United States.
If there are questions about the fuel
you are using, contact your fuel
supplier.
Diesel Fuel Grades
For best results use number 2-D
diesel fuel year-round (above and
below freezing conditions) as oil
companies blend number 2-D fuel to
address climate differences.
