FUEL REQUIREMENTS

3.6L Engine

This engine is designed to meet all emis-

sions regulations and provide excellent

fuel economy and performance when us-

ing high-quality unleaded “regular” gaso-

line having an octane rating of 87. The use

of premium gasoline is not recommended, as it will not

provide any benefit over regular gasoline in these en-

gines.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to

your engine. However, continued heavy spark knock at

high speeds can cause damage and immediate service is

required. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such

as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you experi-

ence these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline

before considering service for the vehicle.

Over 40 auto manufacturers worldwide have issued and

endorsed consistent gasoline specifications (the World-

wide Fuel Charter, WWFC) which define fuel properties

necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, performance,

and durability for your vehicle. The manufacturer recom-

mends the use of gasolines that meet the WWFC speci-

fications if they are available.

Reformulated Gasoline

Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner

burning gasoline referred to as “Reformulated Gasoline.”

Reformulated gasoline contain oxygenates and are spe-

cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im-

prove air quality.
The use of reformulated gasoline is recommended. Prop-

erly blended reformulated gasoline will provide im-

proved performance and durability of engine and fuel

system components.
