GAS STATION REFERENCE
& Fuel:
! Turbo models except STI
Use premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91
AKI (95 RON) or higher . If premium unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON) is not available, regular
unleaded gasoline with octane rating of 87 AKI (90 RON) or
higher may be temporarily used. For optimum engine perfor-
mance and driveability, it is required that you use premium
grade unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI (95
RON) or higher. ! STI
The engine is designed to operate at maximum performance using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 93 AKI (98
RON) or higher . If 93 AKI (98 RON) fuel is not readily available
in your area, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI
(95 RON) may be used with no detriment to engine durability or
driveability. However, you may notice a slight decrease in
maximum engine performance while using 91 AKI (95 RON)
fuel. Use of 91 AKI (95 RON) fuel will not affect your warrantycoverage. &
Fuel octane rating:
This octane rating is the average of the Research Octane and
Motor Octane numbers and is commonly referred to as the Anti
Knock Index (AKI). Refer to “Fuel octane rating ”F 7-3.
& Fuel capacity:
16.9 US gal (64 liters, 14.1 Imp gal) & Engine oil:
Use only the following oils. . ILSAC GF-4 or GF-5, which can be identified with the ILSAC
certification mark (Starburst mark). or API classification SN or SM with the words “ENERGY
CONSERVING ”or “RESOURCE CONSERVING ”
For the complete viscosity requirements, refer to “Engine oil ”
F 12-5.
& Engine oil capacity:
Except STI models: 4.4 US qt (4.2 liters, 3.7 Imp qt)
STI models: 4.5 US qt (4.3 liters, 3.8 Imp qt)
The indicated oil quantity is only a guideline and is estimated
based on a case when the engine oil is changed with an oil
filter. After refilling the engine with oil, the oil level should be
checked using an oil level gauge. For more details about
maintenance and service, refer to “Engine oil ”F 11-8.
& Cold tire pressure:
Refer to “Tires ”F 12-9.
