Caution (Continued)
(MMT), which can damage
the emissions control
system and spark plugs.
.
Fuel with a posted octane
rating of less than the
recommended fuel. Using
this fuel will lower fuel
economy and performance,
and may decrease the life of
the emissions catalyst.
Fuel Additives
Gasoline should contain detergent
additives that help prevent engine
and fuel system deposits from
forming. Clean fuel injectors and
intake valves will allow the emission
control system to work properly.
Some gasoline does not contain
sufficient quantities of additives to
keep fuel injectors and intake valves
clean. To make up for this lack of
detergency, consult your dealer for
the GM approved additive
treatment. Add this additive to the
fuel tank at every engine oil change
or every 15 000 km (9,000 mi),
whichever occurs first.
