Adding Equipment to the Outside
of Your Vehicle
Things you might add to the outside of your vehicle
can affect the airflow around it. This may cause
wind noise and affect windshield washer performance.
Check with your dealer before adding equipment to
the outside of your vehicle.
Fuel
Use of the recommended fuel is an important part of
the proper maintenance of your vehicle.
Gasoline Octane
If your vehicle has the 2.8L V6 engine or the 3.6L V6
engine, use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted
octane of 87 or higher. However, for best performance
and for trailer towing, you may wish to use middle
grade or premium unleaded gasoline. If the octane is
less than 87, you may get a heavy knocking noise
when you drive. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at
87 octane or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise,
you might damage your engine.
If your vehicle has the 5.7L V8 engine, use premium
unleaded gasoline with a posted octane of 91 or
higher for best performance. You may also use middle
grade or regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane
or higher, but your vehicle’s acceleration may be slightly
reduced. If the octane is less than 87, you may get a
heavy knocking noise when you drive. If this occurs,
use a gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher as soon as
possible. Otherwise, you might damage your engine.
Gasoline Specifications
It is recommended that gasoline meet specifications
which were developed by automobile manufacturers
around the world and contained in the World-Wide Fuel
Charter which is available from the Alliance of Automobile
Manufacturers at www.autoalliance.org/fuel_charter.htm.
Gasoline meeting these specifications could provide
improved driveability and emission control system
performance compared to other gasoline.
