Fuel types
Petrol engines
Use unleaded petrol of 91 Research
Octane Number (RON) rating or
higher.
High octane unleaded petrol
(premium etc.) may be used, but is
not required for the vehicle.
The use of fuel with a lower octane
rating than recommended may
cause engine knock.
Continued use of fuel with a lower
octane rating to that recommended,
can cause engine damage and void
the warranty.
If you detect a heavy engine
knock even when using fuel of the
recommended octane rating, have
the engine checked.
Caution
Use only bio-diesel blends
containing up to a maximum
of 5 % FAME that meets Euro
Standards EN14214 and EN590.
Purchasing fuel from a reputable
fuel retailer may reduce the risk
of purchasing fuel with more than
5 % FAME or fuel which contains
abnormal fuel properties.
Use of any other bio-diesel that
does not have the certification
referred to above, or has a FAME
content exceeding 5 %, may
cause serious damage to your
vehicle (including engine failure).
Damage attributable to the use
of non certified bio-diesel is not
covered by your New Vehicle
Voluntary Warranty. In no event
will Holden be responsible or bear
any liability for any damage or
loss that may arise in connection
with the use of any fuel that does
not meet this specification.
Diesel engines
Diesel engines must be operated
only on commercially available
diesel fuel meeting the requirements
of Euro standards EN590.
The use of bio-diesel containing
up to 5 % fatty acid methyl ester
(“FAME”) also known as “B5” is also
permitted provided that the FAME
meets the Euro Standards EN14214
and EN590.
Do not use marine diesel oils or
heating oils.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuel
are temperature dependent. When
temperatures are low, use diesel fuel
with guaranteed winter properties.
