Fuel E-85 (85% Ethanol)

The 8th digit of your vehicle identiﬁcation number (VIN)

shows the code letter or number that identiﬁes your

engine. You will ﬁnd the VIN at the top left of the

instrument panel. See Vehicle Identiﬁcation

Number (VIN) on page 5-126.

If your vehicle has the 5.3L V8 engine (VIN Code Z

only), you may use either regular unleaded gasoline or

ethanol fuel containing up to 85% ethanol (E-85);

also see Fuel on page 5-5. In all other engines, including

the 5.3L V8 (VIN Code T), use only regular unleaded

gasoline.

Only vehicles that have the 5.3L V8 engine (VIN

Code Z) may use 85% ethanol fuel (E-85). General

Motors encourages the use of E-85 in vehicles that are

designed to use it. The ethanol in E-85 is a “renewable”

fuel, meaning it is made from renewable sources

such as corn and other crops.

Many service stations will not have an 85% ethanol

fuel (E-85) pump available. The U. S. Department

of Energy has an alternative fuels website

(http://www.afdc.doe.gov/refueling_mapsite.shtml) that

can help you ﬁnd E-85 fuel. Those stations that do have

E-85 should have a label indicating ethanol content.

Do not use the fuel if the ethanol content is greater than

85%. Your vehicle may not operate properly if the

ethanol content is greater than 85%.

At a minimum, E-85 should meet ASTM

Speciﬁcation D 5798.

To ensure quick starts in the wintertime, the E-85 fuel

must be formulated properly for your climate according

to ASTM speciﬁcation D 5798. If you have trouble

starting on E-85, it may be because your E-85 fuel is

not properly formulated for your climate. If this happens,

switching to gasoline or adding gasoline to your fuel

tank may improve starting. Your vehicle is designed to

accommodate a mixture of gasoline and E-85 fuel.

For good starting and heater efficiency below

32°F (0°C), the fuel mix in the fuel tank should

contain no more than 70% ethanol.
