FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Sedan — Automatic transmission
models
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an oc-
tane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock In-
dex) number (Research octane number 91).
For
improved
vehicle
performance,
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of
at least 91 AKI number (Research octane
number 96).
Sedan — Manual transmission
and Coupe models
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane
number 96).
If premium gasoline is not available, un-
leaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 AKI number (Research octane
number 91) may be temporarily used, but
only under the following precautions:
O
Have the fuel tank filled only partially
with unleaded regular gasoline, and
fill up with unleaded premium gaso-
line as soon as possible.
O
Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso-
line is recommended.
CAUTION
O
Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission con-
trol system, and may also affect the war-
ranty coverage.
O
Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, because this will dam-
age the three-way catalyst.
O
Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed to run on E-85
fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel
system components and is not covered
by the INFINITI vehicle limited warranty.
Gasoline specifications
INFINITI recommends using gasoline that
meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter
(WWFC) specifications where it is avail-
able. Many of the automobile manufactur-
ers developed this specification to im-
prove emission control system and ve-
hicle performance. Ask your service
station manager if the gasoline meets the
WWFC specifications.
Reformulated gasoline
Some fuel suppliers are now producing
reformulated gasolines. These gasolines
are specially designed to reduce vehicle
emissions. INFINITI supports efforts to-
wards cleaner air and suggests that you
use reformulated gasoline when avail-
able.
Gasoline containing oxygenates
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline contain-
ing oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE
and methanol with or without advertising
their presence. INFINITI does not recom-
mend the use of fuels of which the oxy-
genate content and the fuel compatibility
for your INFINITI cannot be readily deter-
mined. If in doubt, ask your service sta-
tion manager.
If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline,
please take the following precautions as
the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle
