Fuel Requirements

If your vehicle is E-85 compatible, it will operate on

unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87, or E-85

fuel, or any mixture of these two fuels.

For best results, a refueling pattern that avoids alternat-

ing between E-85 and unleaded gasoline is recom-

mended.

When you do switch fuel types it is recommended that:

• You do not add less than 5 gallons (19 Liters) when

refueling.

• You drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at

least 5 miles (8 km).

Observing these precautions will avoid possible hard

starting and/or significant deterioration in driveability

during warm up.

NOTE:

• Use seasonally adjusted E-85 fuel (ASTM D5798). With

non-seasonally adjusted E-85 fuel, you may experience

hard starting and rough idle following start up even if

the above recommendations are followed, especially

when the ambient temperature is below 32°F (0°C).

• Some additives used in regular gasoline are not fully

compatible with E-85 and may form deposits in your

engine. To eliminate driveability issues that may be

caused by these deposits, a supplemental gasoline

additive, such as MOPAR® Injector Cleanup or

Techron may be used.

Selection Of Engine Oil For Flexible Fuel Vehicles

(E-85) And Gasoline Vehicles

FFV vehicles operated on E-85 require specially formu-

lated engine oils. These special requirements are included

in MOPAR® engine oils, and in equivalent oils meeting
