Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What about gasoline with blending materials that contain oxygen
(oxygenates). such as MTBE or alcohol?
MTBE is ”nlethyl tcl-tiary-butyl ether. Fuel that is 11o more ttlan 15%
MTRE is fine for your vehicle.
Etimol is ethyl or grain alcohol. Propcriy-blended fuel that is no more
than 10% ctizwtol is fine for your velliclc.
“clurmd is methyl or wood alcohol.
.,
Fuel that is more than 5% methanol is bad for your vehicle.
Don’t
use it. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and
also damage plastic and rubber parts. That damage wouldn’t be
covered
under your warranty And even at 5% or less, there must
be “cosolvents” and corrosion preventers in this fuel to help
avoid these problems.
G~lsoiines for Cleaner Air
Your use of gasoline with deposit control additives will help prevent
deposits from forming
ill vour engine and fuel s\jstern. That helps keep
your engine L. in tune a11d your emission control $stem working properly.
It‘s good for your vehicle. and you‘ll bc doing vour part for cleaner air.
Many gasolines are now blended with oxygenates. General Motors
recommends that YOU us2 gasolines with these blending materials. such as
MTBE and ethanol. By doing so. you can help clean the air, especially in
those parts of the county that have high carbon monoxide levels.
In addition. some gasoline suppliers are mv producing reformulated
gasolines. These gasoiirm are speciallv designed to reduce vehicle
emissions. General
Motors recornrnshs that you use reformulated
gasoline. By doing so, you can help clean the air, especially in those parts
of the country that have high ozone levels.
You should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain
deposit control additives and oxygenates,
and if they have been
reformulated
to reduce vehicle emissions.

If the CHECK OIL light on the instrument panel comes on, it means you
need to check your engine oil level right away. For more information, see
“Check
Oil Light” in the Index. You should check your engine oil level
regularly;
this is an added reminder.
It’s a good idea
to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order
to get an accurate reading,
the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground.
Turn off the engine and
give
the oil a few
minutes
to drain back
into
the oil pan. If you
don‘t, the
oil dipstick
might
not show the
actual level.
