Gasoline Octane

Use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 91 or higher. You can also use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, but the vehicle’s acceleration could be slightly reduced, and you might notice a slight audible knocking noise, commonly referred to as spark knock. If the octane is less than 87, you might notice a heavy knocking noise when you drive. If this occurs,use a gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise, you could damage the engine.If you are using gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher and you hear heavy knocking, the engine needs service.
