Is it possible to use unleaded
gasoline with a Pump Octane
Number (PON) of 87 or higher
on this vehicle?
If premium unleaded gasoline with a PON of 91 or higher is
not available, you can temporarily use the gasoline with a PON
of 87 or higher.
This will result in decreased engine performance, and can
cause occasional metallic knocking noise in the engine. 4-cylinder models

Unleaded gasoline with a PON of 91 or higher is recommended.
6-cylinder models

Unleaded gasoline with a PON of 91 or higher is required.
The long-term use of a lower PON gasoline can lead to engine
damage.
