1. Recommended Materials

A: RECOMMENDED MATERIALS

1. GENERAL

To insure the best performance, always use the specified oil, gasoline, adhesive, sealant, etc. or a substitute

of equivalent quality.

2. FUEL

• Use unleaded gasoline to reduce air pollution, because using leaded gasoline will damage the catalytic

converter.

• Do not use the low quality gasoline, or improper fuel such as diesel fuel, fuel alcohol, or gasoline additive

because they will adversely affect on engine components.

• Always use gasoline that is equivalent to that prescribed in the owner’s manual or that of high octane val-

ue. There is the possibility of damaging or improper operation of the engine and fuel injection system if the

specifications are not observed. Use the prescribed gasoline type to maintain proper vehicle performance.

3. LUBRICANTS

Use the lubricants shown in the table below, or equivalent. See the table below to choose the correct SAE
