1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA mileage

EMiUM UNLEAOED FUEL ON C
Your trip odometer tells you how far you have driven
since
you last reset it. Press the trip button located next
to the trip odometer, below the fuel gage.
Your Aurora has a tamper resistant odometer.
If you see
silver lines between the numbers, you’ll know someone
has probably tampered with it and the numbers may not
be true.
You
may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total
of the old odometer, then it must be. But if
it can’t, then it’s set at zero and a label must be put on
the driver’s door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Tachometer
2
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute
(RPM).
If your engine speed equals or exceeds the safe limit for
operation, the message HOT
... REDUCE ENGINE RPM
is displayed on the information center.

Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see “Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Aurora” in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index.
I NOTICE: 1
If you try to do your own service work without
knowing enough about it, your vehicle could be
damaged.
Fuel
Use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or
higher. It should meet specifications ASTM D48 14 in
the United States and CGSB 3.5-92 in Canada. These
fuels should have the proper additives,
so you should not
have to add anything to the fuel.
In the United States and Canada, it’s easy
to be sure you
get the right kind of gasoline (unleaded). You’ll see
UNLEADED right on the pump. And only unleaded
nozzles will fit into your vehicle’s filler neck.
Be sure the posted octane is at least 91. If the octane is
less than
91, you may get a heavy knocking noise when
you drive. (In an emergency, you may be able to use
lower octane
-- as low as 87 -- if heavy knocking does
not occur.) If you’re using 91 or higher octane unleaded
gas and
you still get heavy knocking, your engine needs
service.
