Gasoline—Oil—Lubricant
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its temperature
increases, the gas tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-
line and then moved to a warm area.
Allow the engine to cool before filling the
gas tank. Care must be taken not to over-
fill the tank. If overfilled, gas may leak
onto the engine creating a fire hazard.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after
filling the tank.
Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this
vehicle is regular unleaded gasoline with
a pump octane number (PON) of 86 or
higher, or research octane number (RON)
of 91 or higher. If knocking or pinging
occurs, use a different brand of gasoline
or premium unleaded gasoline. Oxygen-
ated gasolines containing up to 10% etha-
nol are acceptable gasolines. Gasolines
containing any amount of methanol are
not recommended.
When using ethanol-blended gasoline, it is
not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze
since ethanol will prevent the accumula-
tion of moisture in the fuel system.
Recommended Engine Oil
The recommended oil to use is ACX All
Weather synthetic engine oil, which has
been specifically formulated for use in
this engine. Although ACX All Weather
synthetic engine oil is the only oil recom-
mended for use in this engine, use of any
API-certified SM 0W-40 oil is accept-
able.
