FUEL RECOMMENDATION
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded pre-
mium gasoline with an octane rating of at least
91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 95).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating
of at least 89 AKI number (Research octane
number 93) may be temporarily used, but only
under the following precautions:
•Have the fuel tank filled only partially with
unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with
unleaded premium gasoline as soon as pos-
sible.
•Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt accel-
eration.
Use unleaded premium gasoline for maximum
vehicle performance.
CAUTION
•Using a fuel other than that specified could
adversely affect the emission control sys-
tem, and may also affect warranty coverage.
•Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, because this will damage
the three-way catalyst.
•Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-15 or
E-85 fuel. Using E-15 or E-85 fuel in a vehicle
not specifically designed for E-15 or E-85
fuel can adversely affect the emission con-
trol devices and systems of the vehicle.
Damage caused by such fuel is not covered
by the INFINITI New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
•Do not use fuel that contains the octane
booster methylcyclopentadienyl manga-
nese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using fuel contain-
ing MMT may adversely affect vehicle per-
formance and vehicle emissions. Not all fuel
dispensers are labeled to indicate MMT con-
tent, so you may have to consult your gaso-
line retailer for more details. Note that Fed-
eral and California laws prohibit the use of
MMT in reformulated gasoline.
•U.S. government regulations require etha-
nol dispensing pumps to be identified by a
small, square, orange and black label with
the common abbreviation or the appropri-
ate percentage for that region.
Gasoline specifications
INFINITI recommends using gasoline that meets
the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) specifica-
tions where it is available. Many of the automo-
bile manufacturers developed this specification
to improve emission system and vehicle perfor-
mance. Ask your service station manager if the
gasoline meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter
(WWFC) specifications.
Reformulated gasoline
Some fuel suppliers are now producing refor-
mulated gasolines. These gasolines are spe-
cially designed to reduce vehicle emissions.
INFINITI supports efforts towards cleaner air
and suggests that you use reformulated gaso-
line when available.
Gasoline containing oxygenates
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing
oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE and metha-
nol with or without advertising their presence.
INFINITI does not recommend the use of fuels of
which the oxygenate content and the fuel com-
patibility for your INFINITI cannot be readily
determined. If in doubt, ask your service station
manager.
