FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
3.6L Engine
These engines are designed to meet all emis-
sions regulations and provide excellent fuel
economy and performance when using high-
quality unleaded gasoline with a minimum re-
search octane rating of 91. The use of premium
gasoline is not recommended, as it will not
provide any benefit over regular gasoline in
these engines.
5.7L EngineTheses engines are designed to meet all emis-
sions regulations and provide satisfactory fuel
economy and performance when using high-
quality unleaded gasoline having an octane
range of 91 to 95. The manufacturer recom-
mends the use of 95 octane for optimum per-
formance. The use of premium gasoline is not
recommended, as it will not provide any benefit
over regular gasoline in these engines. Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage, and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Over 40 auto manufacturers worldwide have
issued and endorsed consistent gasoline
specifications (the Worldwide Fuel Charter,
WWFC) which define fuel properties necessary
to deliver enhanced emissions, performance,
and durability for your vehicle. The manufac-
turer recommends the use of gasoline that
meets the WWFC specifications if they are
available.
Besides using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that contain
detergents, corrosion and stability additives
are recommended. Using gasolines that have
these additives may help improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions, and maintain ve-
hicle performance.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling and stumble. If you
experience these problems, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Methanol
(Methyl or Wood Alcohol) is used in a variety of
concentrations when blended with unleaded
gasoline. You may find fuels containing 3% or
more Methanol along with other alcohols called
cosolvents. Problems that result from using
Methanol/gasoline or E85 Ethanol blends are
not the responsibility of the manufacturer. While
MTBE is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it
does not have the negative effects of Methanol.CAUTION!
Do not use gasolines containing Methanol or
E85 Ethanol. Use of these blends may result
in starting and driveability problems and may
damage critical fuel system components.

Ethanol
The manufacturer recommends that your ve-
hicle be operated on fuel containing no more
than 10% Ethanol. Purchasing your fuel from a
reputable supplier may reduce the risk of ex-
ceeding this 10% limit and/or of receiving fuel
with abnormal properties. It should also be
noted that an increase in fuel consumption
should be expected when using Ethanol-
blended fuels, due to the lower energy content
of Ethanol.
Problems that result from using Methanol/
gasoline or E85 Ethanol blends are not the
responsibility of the manufacturer. While MTBE
is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it does
not have the negative effects of Methanol.
CAUTION!
Use of fuel with Ethanol content higher than
10% may result in engine malfunction, starting
and operating difficulties and materials degra-
dation. These adverse effects could result in
permanent damage to your vehicle.Clean Air Gasoline
Many gasolines are now being blended that
contribute to cleaner air, especially in those
areas where air pollution levels are high. These
new blends provide a cleaner burning fuel and
some are referred to as “reformulated gaso-
line.”
The manufacturer supports these efforts toward
cleaner air. You can help by using these blends
as they become available.
MMT in Gasoline
MMT is a manganese containing metallic addi-
tive that is blended into some gasoline to
increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT
provides no performance advantage beyond
gasoline of the same octane number without
MMT. Gasoline blended with MMT reduces
spark plug life and reduces emission system
performance in some vehicles. The manufac-
turer recommends that gasoline without MMT
be used in your vehicle. The MMT content of
gasoline may not be indicated on the gasoline
pump; therefore, you should ask your gasoline
retailer whether or not his/her gasoline contains
MMT. Materials Added to Fuel
Besides using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that contain
detergents, corrosion and stability additives
are recommended. Using gasolines that have
these additives will help improve fuel economy,
reduce emissions, and maintain vehicle perfor-
mance.
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning
agents should be avoided. Many of these ma-
terials intended for gum and varnish removal
may contain active solvents or similar ingredi-
ents. These can harm fuel system gasket and
diaphragm materials.
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is
deadly. Follow the precautions below to pre-
vent carbon monoxide poisoning:
