FUEL REQUIREMENTS
This engine is designed to meet all
emission regulations, and provide
satisfactory
fuel
performance
high-quality unleaded "Regular" gasoline
having a posted octane number of 87 as spec-
ified by the (R+M)/2 method. For optimal
performance the use of 91 or higher octane
"Premium" gasoline is recommended in these
engines.
While operating on gasoline with the required
octane number, hearing a light knocking
sound from the engine is not a cause for
concern. However, if the engine is heard
making a heavy knocking sound, see an
authorized dealer immediately. Use of gaso-
line with a lower than recommended octane
number can cause engine failure and may void
or not be covered by the New Vehicle Limited

Reformulated Gasoline
www.inhauto.com
Many areas of the country require the use of
cleaner burning gasoline referred to as "refor-
mulated gasoline". Reformulated gasoline
contains oxygenates and are specifically
blended to reduce vehicle emissions and
improve air quality.
The use of reformulated gasoline is recom-
mended. Properly blended reformulated gaso-
line will provide improved performance and
durability of engine and fuel system compo-
nents.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline
with oxygenates such as ethanol.

CAUTION!
DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing
methanol, or gasoline containing more than
15% ethanol (E-15). Use of these blends
may result in starting and drivability
problems, damage critical fuel system
components, cause emissions to exceed
the applicable standard, and/or cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate.
Please observe pump labels as they should
clearly communicate if a fuel contains
greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).
Problems that result from using gasoline
containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15) or
gasoline containing methanol are not the
responsibility of the manufacturer and may
void or not be covered under New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
