If premium unleaded gasoltne IS not available,
MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL
unleaded gasoline having a octane rating of 87 or
91 RON (Research Octane Number) may be used. Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents
In this case, the performance and fuel consumption should be avoided. Many of these materials
in-
WIII suffer a little degradatron.tended for gum and varnish removal may contain
highly active
solvents or similar ingredients that can
be harmful to gasket and diaphragm materials used
in fuel system component parts.
Gasolines containing alcohol
Some gasolrnes sold at service stations contain
alcohol, although they may not be SC identified. Use
of fuels containing alcohol is not recommended
unless the nature of the blend can be
determrned
as being satisfactory.
Gasohol
- A mixture of 10% ethanol (grain alcohol)
and 90% unleaded gasoline may be used
In your
car. If
driveability problems are experienced as a
result of using gasohol, it IS recommended that the
car be operated on gasoline. Methanol
- Do not use gasolines containing
methanol (wood alcohol). Use of this type of
alcohol can result in vehicle performance deteriora-
tion and damage critical parts in the fuel system
components. Fuel system damage and performance
problems, resulting from the use of gasolines
containing methanol, may not be covered by the
new car warranty.
Gasolines containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether)
Unleaded gasolrne containrng
15% or less MTBE
may be used in your car. (Fuel containing MTBE
over 15% vol. may cause reduced engine per-
formance and produce vapor lock or hard starting.) RECOMMENDED

SELECTION OF LUBRICANTS
ENGINE OIL
Engine oil should be used which conform to the requirements
of the API classification “For Service SG” or “For Service
SGKD”, and have the proper SAE grade number for the
expected temperature range.
Caution
Nondetergent or straight mineral oil must never be used.
Energy Conserving Oil
In order to improve fuel economy and conserve energy new,
lower friction engine oils have been developed. These oils are readily available and can be identified by such labels as “Energy
Conserving”, “Energy Saving”,
“Improved Fuel Economy”,
etc.

Oil Identification Symbol
A standard
.symbol appears on the top of oil containers and has
three district areas for identifying various aspects of the oil.
The top
polqion will indicate the quality of the oil. The center
portion will show the SAE viscosity grade, such as SAE lOW-30.
“Energy Conserving” shown in the lower portion,
indicates that the oil has fuel-saving capabilities.

Example:
The safe operating temperature is - 15°C (5°F) when the measured specific gravity is 1.058 at the Coolant
temperature of 20°C (68°F).
Cautions
1. If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely
affected. In addition, if the concentration is above 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cooling
properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reas\
ons, be sure to maintain the
concentration level within the specified range.
2. Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.
