ence these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline

before considering service for the vehicle.
Over 40 auto manufacturer’s world wide 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 manufacturer supports the use of reformulated gaso-

line. Properly blended reformulated gasoline 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 Ethanol.

CAUTION!

DO NOT use gasoline containing Methanol or gaso-
line containing more than 10% Ethanol. Use of these
blends may result in starting and drivability prob-
lems, damage critical fuel system components, cause
emissions to exceed the applicable standard, and/or
cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light” to illumi-
nate. Pump labels should clearly communicate if a
fuel contains greater than 10% Ethanol.
