The 8.4L engine is designed to meet all
emissions regulations, provide optimal
fuel economy and performance when us-
ing high-quality unleaded "Premium"
gasoline having a posted octane number of
91 as specified by the (R+M)/2 method. The use of 91 or
higher octane "Premium" gasoline is required for in this
engine.
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 your dealer imme-
diately. Use of gasoline with a lower than recommended
octane number can cause engine failure and may void or
not be covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard
starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you experience these
symptoms, try another brand of gasoline before consid-
ering service for the vehicle.
