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.

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. Please observe pump labels as they should

clearly communicate if a fuel contains greater than

10% ethanol.

Problems that result from using gasoline containing Metha-

nol or gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol are not

the responsibility of the manufacturer and may void or not

be covered under New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
