FUEL REQUIREMENTS –
GASOLINE ENGINE
3.6L Engine
This engine is designed to
meet all emissions regula-
tions and provide excel-
lent fuel economy and
performance when using
high-quality unleaded
“Regular” gasoline having
an octane rating of 87 as specified by the
(R+M)/2 method. The use of higher octane
“Premium” gasoline will not provide any ben-
efit over “Regular” gasoline in these engines.
While operating on gasoline with an octane
number of 87, hearing a light knocking sound
from the engine is not a cause for concern.
However, if the engine is heard making a
heavy knocking sound, see your dealer imme-
diately. Use of gasoline with an octane num-
ber lower than 87 can cause engine failure
and may void or not be covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.

ket and diaphragm materials.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS –
DIESEL ENGINE
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable
supplier in your vehicle. Federal law requires
that you must fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low
Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur
maximum) and prohibits the use of Low Sul-
fur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur
maximum) to avoid damage to the emissions
control system.
For most year-round service, No. 2 diesel fuel
meeting ASTM (formerly known as the Ameri-
can Society for Testing and Materials) speci-
fication D-975 Grade S15 will provide good
performance. If the vehicle is exposed to
extreme cold (below 20°F or -7°C), or is
required to operate at colder-than-normal
conditions for prolonged periods, use clima-
tized No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the No.
2 diesel fuel with 50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This
will provide better protection from fuel gell-
ing or wax-plugging of the fuel filters.
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel
blending agent. They can be unstable un-
der certain conditions and hazardous or
explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of wa-
ter. To prevent fuel system trouble, drain the
accumulated water from the fuel/water sepa-
rator using the fuel/water separator drain pro-
vided on the fuel filter housing. If you buy
good quality fuel and follow the cold weather
advice above, fuel conditioners should not be
required in your vehicle. If available in your
area, a high cetane “premium” diesel fuel
may offer improved cold-starting and
warm-up performance.
CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” re-
mains on, DO NOT START engine before
you drain the water from the fuel filter(s) to
avoid engine damage. Refer to “Draining
Fuel/Water Separator Filter” in “Servicing
And Maintenance” for further information.
Diesel Fuel Specifications
This diesel engine has been developed to
take advantage of the high energy content
and generally lower cost No. 2 Ultra Low
Sulfur diesel fuel or No. 2 Ultra Low Sulfur
climatized diesel fuels.
NOTE:
• If you accidentally fill the fuel tank with gasoline on your diesel vehicle, do not
start the engine. Damage to the engine
and fuel system could occur. Please call
your authorized dealer for service.
• A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meet- ing ASTM specification D-975 may be
used with your diesel engine without any
adjustments to regular service schedules.
• Commercially available fuel additives are not necessary for the proper operation of
your diesel engine.
• No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel should only be used where extended arctic condi-
tions (-10°F or -23°C) exist.
