5.7L Engine (with Manual Transmission)

The 5.7L engine (with manual transmis-

sion) is designed to meet all emissions

regulations and provide excellent fuel

economy and performance when using

high-quality premium unleaded gasoline

with an octane rating of 91 or higher.

Reformulated Gasoline
Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner

burning gasoline referred to as “reformulated gasoline.”

Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates and are spe-

cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im-

prove air quality.
The manufacturer supports the use of reformulated gaso-

lines. Properly blended reformulated gasolines will pro-

vide excellent performance and durability of engine and

fuel system components.

Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy-

genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen-

ates are required in some areas of the country during the

winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions.

Fuels blended with these oxygenates may be used in

your vehicle.

CAUTION!

Do not use gasolines containing Methanol or E-85
Ethanol. Use of these blends may result in starting
and driveability problems and may damage critical
fuel system components.

Problems that result from using methanol/gasoline or

E-85 ethanol blends are not the responsibility of the

manufacturer. While MTBE is an oxygenate made from

methanol, it does not have the negative effects of

methanol.
