4. FUEL Your engine is designed to use any gasoline that has a pump octane number ( ‘2 ) of 86 or higher, or that has a research oc- tanle number of 91 or higher. Gasoline pumps at service station normally display the pump octane number. We recommend that you use unleaded fuel because it produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system components. NeGer use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
