Fuel Requirements
Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL, which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a minimum.
To achieve maximum engine performance, use the specified fuel.
(e-SKYACTIV G (STANDARD POWER))
|
Fuel |
Octane Rating*1 (Anti-knock index) |
|---|---|
|
Regular unleaded fuel |
87 [(R+M)/2 method] or above (91 RON or above) |
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) will negatively affect the emission control system performance and could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
(e-SKYACTIV G (HIGH POWER))
|
Fuel |
Octane Rating*1 (Anti-knock index) |
|---|---|
|
Premium unleaded fuel |
91 [(R+M)/2 method] or above (96 RON or above) |
-
U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gas station pumps.
Regular unleaded fuel with an octane rating from 87 to 90 (91 to 95 RON) can be used, but this will reduce performance slightly, such as reduced engine output, and engine knocking.
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) will negatively affect the emission control system performance and could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
Gasoline blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether compounds are generally referred to as oxygenated fuels. The common gasoline blend that can be used with your vehicle is ethanol blended at no more than 10 %. Gasoline containing alcohol, such as ethanol or methanol, may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”.
Vehicle damage and drivability problems resulting from the use of the following may not be covered by the warranty.
-
Gasohol containing more than 10 % ethanol.
-
Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
-
Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
