tricarbonyl (MMT), which can damage
the emissions control system and

ratings in anti-knock index (AKI). For fuel not to
use in aforeign country, see Prohibited Fuels
3210.
Fuel Additives
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is highly
recommended for use with your vehicle. If
your country does not have TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline, add ACDelco Fuel System Treatment

Detergent Gasoline and ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus – Gasoline will help keep
your vehicle’s engine fuel deposit free and
performing optimally.
