Attention! If you refuel your vehicle with tetraethyl lead fuel, the catalytic converter may be damaged. In this case, it will not be subject to warranty repair.
Fuel additives
Many gasoline manufacturers add special fuel additives to their gasoline to help reduce intake manifold and injector deposits. It is recommended to use gasoline with fuel additives when refueling the vehicle. They help keep the engine and emission control systems running well.
Fuel octane requirements
All vehicles other than those equipped with a double overhead camshaft engine must use tetraethyl lead-free gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 [ (R+M) /2] or 91.
All vehicles equipped with a double overhead camshaft engine must use tetraethyl lead-free gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 91[ (R+M) /2] or 95. If you cannot get gasoline with such a high octane rating, you can use gasoline with an octane rating of 87 [ (R+M) /2] or 91. However, in this case, the engine power will be reduced.
Oxidized gasoline
Some gas stations sell gasoline based on ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol or trimethylbutyl ether, although they may be called differently.
The use of this type of fuel is not recommended unless you are sure that the composition is suitable for your vehicle.
Ethanol
Mixture of 10% ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and 90% tetraethyl lead-free gasoline can be used to refuel a car if its octane rating is not lower than recommended.
Methanol
Do not use gasoline containing methanol (methyl alcohol), to refuel the car. The use of such gasoline can cause problems with engine operation and lead to the breakdown of some important elements of the fuel system.
Trimethyl bugyl ether
A mixture of 15% or less trimethylbutyl ether and tetraethyl lead-free gasoline may be used to refuel a vehicle if its octane rating is not lower than recommended.
Attention! If you are experiencing engine performance problems and think it is related to the type of fuel you are using, try switching to a different fuel.
