Caution
The use of poor-quality fuels may result
in harmful engine deposits or damage.
Additionally, problems relating to drivabil-
ity, starting and stalling, especially under
certain environmental conditions such as
high ambient temperature and high alti-
tude, may occur.
If drivability problems are encountered,
we recommend switching to a high quality
gasoline brand and a higher octane grade
ā AKI number ā for a few tank fills. To
avoid harmful engine deposits, it is highly
recommended to purchase gasoline from
Top Tier retailers.
Failure to comply with these recommenda-
tions may result in the need for additional
maintenance.
