FUEL RECOMMENDATION
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of at
least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Re-
search octane number 95).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rat-
ing of at least 89 AKI number (Research oc-
tane 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
possible.
•Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt ac-
celeration.
Use unleaded premium gasoline for maxi-
mum vehicle performance.
CAUTION
•Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission con-
trol system, and may also affect war-
ranty coverage.
•Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, because this will dam-
age 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 de-
signed for E-15 or E-85 fuel can ad-
versely affect the emission control de-
vices and systems of the vehicle.
Damage caused by such fuel is not cov-
ered by the INFINITI New Vehicle Lim-
ited Warranty.
•Do not use fuel that contains the octane
booster methylcyclopentadienyl man- ganese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using fuel
containing MMT may adversely affect
vehicle performance and vehicle emis-
sions. Not all fuel dispensers are labeled
to indicate MMT content, so you may
have to consult your gasoline retailer for
more details. Note that Federal and
California laws prohibit the use of MMT
in reformulated gasoline.
•U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be identi-
fied by a small, square, orange and black
label with the common abbreviation or
the appropriate percentage for that
region.
