284 Driving and Operating
Prohibited Fuels
Caution
Do not use fuels with any of the
following conditions; doing so may
damage the vehicle and void its
warranty:
.For vehicles that are not FlexFuel, fuel
labeled greater than 15% ethanol by
volume, such as mid-level ethanol
blends (16–50% ethanol), E85,
or FlexFuel.
.Fuel with any amount of methanol,
methylal, ferrocene, and aniline. These
fuels can corrode metal fuel system
parts or damage plastic and rubber
parts.
.Fuel containing metals such as
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT), which can damage
the emissions control system and
spark plugs.
.Fuel with a posted octane rating of
less than the recommended fuel. Using
this fuel will lower fuel economy and
performance, and may decrease the
life of the emissions catalyst.
Fuels in Foreign Countries
The U.S., Canada, and Mexico post fuel
octane ratings in anti-knock index (AKI). For
fuel not to use in a foreign country, see
Prohibited Fuels0284.
Fuel Additives
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is highly
recommended for use with your vehicle.
If your country does not have TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline, add ACDelco Fuel
System Treatment Plus−Gasoline to the
vehicle’s gasoline fuel tank at every oil
change or 15 000 km (9,000 mi), whichever
occurs first. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline and
ACDelco Fuel System Treatment Plus
−Gasoline will help keep your vehicle’s
engine fuel deposit free and performing
optimally.
E85 or FlexFuel
Vehicles with a yellow fuel sticker on the
fuel door can use either unleaded gasoline
or fuel containing up to 85% ethanol (E85).
All other vehicles should use only the
unleaded gasoline as described in
Recommended Fuel (Except 6.2L V8 Engine)
0283 or
Recommended Fuel (6.2L V8 Engine) 0283. The use of E85 or FlexFuel is encouraged
when the vehicle is designed to use it. E85
or FlexFuel is made from renewable sources.
To help locate fuel stations that carry E85 or
FlexFuel, the U.S. Department of Energy has
an alternative fuel website. See
www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations.
E85 or FlexFuel should meet ASTM
Specification D 5798 or CAN/CGSB–3.512 in
Canada. Do not use the fuel if the ethanol
content is greater than 85%. Fuel mixtures
that do not meet ASTM or CGSB
specifications can affect driveability and
could cause the malfunction indicator lamp
to come on.
The starting characteristics of E85 or FlexFuel
make it unsuitable for use when
temperatures fall below
−18 °C (0 °F). Use
gasoline or add gasoline to the E85 or
FlexFuel.
Because E85 or FlexFuel has less energy per
liter (gallon) than gasoline, the vehicle will
need to be refilled more often. See Filling
the Tank (Pickup Model) 0285 or
Filling the Tank (Chassis Cab Model) 0286.
