Fuel

The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) shows the code

letter for your engine. You will find the VIN at the top left of your

instrument panel. (See “Vehicle Identification Number”

the Index.)

Use regular unleaded gasoline rated at

octane or higher. With the 4.3L

(Code W) engine, use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or

higher for high power performance, when towing a trailer or with a high

payload requirement. But when operating with a light load as a normal

condition, you may use middle grade or regular unleaded gasolines.

The gasoline you use should meet specifications ASTM D48 14 in the

U.S.

and CGSB

3.5-92

in Canada. These fuels should have the proper additives,

you

should

not

have to add anything

the

fuel.

In the

U.S.

and Canada, it’s easy to be sure you get the right kind

gasoline (unleaded). You’ll see “UNLEADED” right on the pump. And only

unleaded nozzles will fit into your vehicle’s filler neck.

Be sure the posted octane is at least 9

for premium,

for middle grade

and

for regular. If the octane is less than

87,

you may get a heavy

knocking noise when you drive. If it’s bad enough, it can damage your

engine.

If you’re using fuel rated at

octane or higher and

you

still hear heavy

knocking, your engine needs service. But don’t worry if you hear a little

pinging noise when you’re accelerating

driving up a hill. That’s normal,

and you don’t have

buy a higher octane fuel to get rid

it. It’s the heavy,

constant knock that means

you

have a problem.

What about gasoline with blending materials that contain oxygen

(oxygenates), such as MTBE or alcohol?

MTBE

is “methyl tertiary-butyl ether.”

Fuel

that is

more than 15%

MTBE is fine for your vehicle.

Ethanol

is ethyl or grain alcohol. Properly-blended fuel that is

more than

10%

ethanol

is fine for your vehicle.

Methanol

methyl or wood alcohol.

NOTICE:

Fuel that is more than

methanol

is bad for your vehicle.

Don’t use it. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and

also damage plastic and rubber parts. That damage wouldn’t be

covered under your warranty. And even at

or less, there

must be “cosolvents” and corrosion preventers in this fuel to

help avoid these problems.
