Fuel Additives (Gasoline)

To keep fuel systems clean, TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline is
recommended. See
.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is
not available, one bottle of Fuel
System Treatment PLUS, part
number 88861013, 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
Caution (Continued)
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.
(Continued)
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.
Number 1-D diesel fuel can be used
in very cold temperatures (when it
stays below 18°C or 0°F);
however, it will produce a power and
fuel economy loss. Avoid the use of
number 1-D diesel fuel in warm or
hot climates. It can result in stalling,
poor starting when the engine is hot,
and damage to the fuel injection
system.
