Fuel
Use only clean, fresh, unleaded regular grade gasoline.
CAUTION: Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Octane Rating The octane rating of a gasoline is a measure of its resistance to “knocking”. Use a minimum
of 87 octane of the antiknock is recommended. The antiknock index is posted on service station pumps in the
U.S.A.
Note : If “knocking or pinging” occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or higher octane rating.
Oxygenated Fuel Oxygenates (either ethanol or MTBE) are added to the gasoline. If you use the oxygenated
fuel be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.
The following are the EPA approved percentages of fuel oxygenates.
ETHANOL: (Ethyl or Grain Alcohol) You may use gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume.
MTBE: (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
METHANOL: (Methyl or Wood Alcohol) You may use gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by
volume, as long as it also contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system.
Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance
problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.
Engine Oil
The following engine oils are recommended.
API Service Classifications: SF, SG, SH or SJ.
Oil Viscosity Choose the viscosity according to the temperature in the above chart.
Note : Using multi grade oils (5W-20, 10W30, and 10W40) will increase oil consumption. Check oil level
more frequently when using them.
Engine Coolant
DEXCOOL
®
Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant.
Note: Do not mix with other coolants.
Mixed Ratio: 50% mix.
