Gasoline Octane

If the vehicle has the 6.2L V8 engine (VIN Code W),

use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane

rating of 91 or higher. You can also use regular

unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, but the

vehicle’s acceleration could be slightly reduced, and

a slight audible knocking noise, commonly referred to as

spark knock, might be heard. If the octane is less

than 87, a heavy knocking noise might be heard

when driving. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at

87 octane or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise,

you could damage the engine. If heavy knocking

is heard when using gasoline rated at 87 octane or

higher, the engine needs service.

If the vehicle has the 6.2L V8 engine (VIN Code T)

or the 7.0L V8 engine (VIN Code E), use premium

unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 91

or higher. For best performance, use premium

unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 93.

In an emergency, you can use regular unleaded

gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.

If 87 octane fuel is used, do not perform any aggressive

driving maneuvers such as wide open throttle

applications. You might also hear audible spark knock

during acceleration. Reﬁll the tank with premium fuel

as soon as possible to avoid damaging the engine.

If heavy knocking is heard when using gasoline

rated at 91 octane or higher, the engine needs service.

Gasoline Speciﬁcations

At a minimum, gasoline should meet ASTM speciﬁcation

D 4814 in the United States or CAN/CGSB-3.5 or

3.511 in Canada. Some gasolines contain an

octane-enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl

manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). We recommend against

the use of gasolines containing MMT. See Additives

on page 6-7 for additional information.
