Maintenance and care
fuel, see your dealer or a qualified service technician
to prevent any engine damage.
SHO engines
Your vehicle is
91
designed to use
premium gasoline for
optimum performance
with an (R + M)/2 octane rating of 91 or higher.
Gasolines with lower octane ratings can be used but
performance may decrease. We do not recommend
gasolines labeled as “premium” in high altitude areas
that are sold with octane ratings less than 91.
Fuel quality
If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or
hesitation problems try a different brand of fuel. If
the condition persists, see your dealer or a qualified
service technician.
The American Automobile Manufacturers Association
(
AAMA) issued a gasoline specification to provide
information on high quality fuels that optimize the
performance of your vehicle. We recommend the use
of gasolines that meet the AAMA specification if
they are available.
It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket
products to your fuel tank if you continue to use a
high-quality fuel.
Cleaner air
Ford approves the use of gasolines to improve air
quality, including reformulated gasolines, that
contain oxygenates such as a maximum of 10%
ethanol or 15% MTBE. There should be no more
than 5% methanol with cosolvents and additives to
protect the fuel system.
