FUEL TYPES
Fuel requirements for petrol engines
Note Use UNLEADED PETROL of 91 (RON) octane rating or higher.
High octane unleaded petrol (premium etc.) may be used, but is not required for your
vehicle. The use of fuel with a lower octane rating than recommended may cause
engine knock. Continued use of such fuel can cause engine damage and void the
warranty. If you detect a heavy engine knock even when using fuel of the recommended
octane rating, have the engine checked.
Fuel requirements for diesel engines
Diesel engines must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel meeting
the requirements of Euro standards EN590. The use of bio-diesel containing up to 5%
fatty acid methyl ester ("FAME") also known as "B5" is also permitted provided that
the FAME meets the Euro Standard EN14214, and the resultant B5 blend meets Euro
Standard EN590. Do not use marine diesel oils or heating oils.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuel are temperature-dependent. When temperatures
are low, use diesel fuel with guaranteed winter properties.
WARNING
Use only bio-diesel blends containing up to a maximum of 5% FAME that meets
Euro standards EN590. Purchasing your fuel from a reputable fuel retailer may
reduce the risk of purchasing fuel with more than 5% FAME or fuel which contains
abnormal fuel properties. Use of any other bio-diesel that does not have the
certification referred to above, or has a FAME content exceeding 5%, may cause
serious damage to your vehicle (including engine failure). Damage attributable to
the use of non certified bio-diesel is not covered by your New Vehicle Warranty.
In no event will GM Holden be responsible or bear any liability for any damage or
loss that may arise in connection with the use of any fuel that does not meet this
specification.
