If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI rating,
the engine may produce knocking sounds when
starting at high external temperatures. This has
no effect on the engine life.

The use of poor quality fuels may result in
harmful engine deposits or damage. Addi-

tionally, problems relating to drivability, starting
and stalling, especially under certain environ-
mental conditions such as high ambient temper-
atures and high altitudes, may occur.
If drivability problems are encountered, we rec-
ommend switching to a high quality gasoline
brand and a higher octane grade - AKI number -
for a few tankfuls. To avoid harmful engine
deposits, it is highly recommended to purchase
gasoline from BP or Top Tier retailers.
Failure to comply with these recommendations
may result in a need for unscheduled mainte-
nance.
