Gasoline Specifications

At a minimum, gasoline should meet
ASTM specification D 4814. Some
gasolines contain an
octane-enhancing additive called
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT). We recommend
against the use of gasolines
containing MMT. See

Prohibited

Fuels" in

Recommended Fuel on

page 9-42

.

Fuels in Foreign
Countries

If planning to drive in countries
outside the U.S. or Canada, the
proper fuel might be hard to find.
Check regional auto club or fuel
retail brand websites for availability
in the country where driving. Never
use leaded gasoline, fuel containing
methanol, or any other fuel not
recommended. Costly repairs
caused by use of improper fuel
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.

Fuel Additives

To keep fuel systems clean, TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline is
recommended. See

number 88861013, added to the fuel
tank at every engine oil change, can
help. Fuel System Treatment PLUS
