Fuel

FUEL GRADE RECOMMENDATION
- Regular grade (87 Octane) unleaded fuel is recommended unless specifically stated in owners manual.

- All unleaded gasoline used should contain detergent additives that are advertised as having "Keep Clean or Clean Up" performance for intake valves.


CAUTION: Use of a higher octane unleaded fuel (91 or higher) may result in rough idle, hesitation, poor throttle response, induction backfire and stalls during cold start/warm-up, because of poor volatility.
