(E-85)andGasolineVehicles
Whether operating the vehicle on an E-85 ethanol fuel or
unlead ed gasoline the engine oil requ irem ents are the
sam e. Refer to “Engine Oil Selection in the “Maintenance
Proced ures” section of this manu al for the prop er quality
and viscosity engine oil.
Your vehicle will operate on both unlead ed gasoline with
an octane rating of 87, or E-85 fuel, or any mixtu re of
these two.
For best resu lts, a refu eling pattern that alternates be-
tween E-85 and unlead ed gasoline shou ld be avoid ed.
When you do switch fuels, it is recom mend ed that
Starting
•
you do not switch when the fuel gau ge ind icates less
than 1/ 4 full
The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsu itable for use
when ambient tem peratu res fall below 0°F. In the range
of 0°F to 32°F, you may experience an increase in the time
it takes for you r engine to start, and a deterioration in
drivability (sags and / or hesitations) until the engine is
fully warm ed up.
•
•
you do not add less than 5 gallons when refu eling
you operate the vehicle immediately after refu eling for
a period of at least 5 minu tes
Observing these precau tions will avoid possible hard
starting and / or significant deterioration in drivability
during warm up.
CruisingRange
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than
gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel con-
sumption. You can expect you r MPG and you r driving
range to decrease by abou t 30% compared to gasoline
operation.
NOTE: When the ambient tem peratu re is above 90°F,
you may experience hard starting and rou gh idle follow -
ing start up even if the above recom mend ations are
follow ed.
