octane OLDSMOBILE AURORA 1995 Owners Manual

Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see “Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Aurora” in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index.
I NOTICE: 1
If you try to do your own service work without
knowing enough about it, your vehicle could be
damaged.
Fuel
Use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or
higher. It should meet specifications ASTM D48 14 in
the United States and CGSB 3.5-92 in Canada. These
fuels should have the proper additives,
so you should not
have to add anything to the fuel.
In the United States and Canada, it’s easy
to be sure you
get the right kind of gasoline (unleaded). You’ll see
UNLEADED right on the pump. And only unleaded
nozzles will fit into your vehicle’s filler neck.
Be sure the posted octane is at least 91. If the octane is
less than
91, you may get a heavy knocking noise when
you drive. (In an emergency, you may be able to use
lower octane
-- as low as 87 -- if heavy knocking does
not occur.) If you’re using 91 or higher octane unleaded
gas and
you still get heavy knocking, your engine needs
service.
