Use high-quality brands
Field experience has indicated significant dif-
ferences in fuel quality: volatility, composition,
additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale
in the United States and Canada. Fuels contain-

The use of poor-quality fuels may result in
drivability, starting and stalling problems
especially under certain environmental condi-

high altitude.
Should you encounter drivability problems
which you suspect could be related to the fuel
you are using, we recommend that you respond
by switching to a recognized high-quality brand
such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier
Detergent Gasoline.

ensured and damage can occur.<

Super Premium Gasoline/AKI 91
This gasoline is highly recommended.
However, you may also use gasoline with less
