FUEL RECOMMENDATION:
VK45DE engine
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane
number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not avail-
able, unleaded regular gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 87 AKI number
(Research octane number 91) can be used,
but only under the following precautions:
O Have the fuel tank filled only partially
with unleaded regular gasoline, and
fill up with unleaded premium gaso-
line as soon as possible.
O Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso-
line is recommended.
VQ35DE engine
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of
at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number
(Research octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not avail-
able, you may use unleaded regular gaso-
line with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI number (Research octane number 91),
but you may notice a decrease in perfor-
mance.
CAUTION
O Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission con-
trol systems, and may also affect war-
ranty coverage.
O Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, since this will damage
the three way catalyst.
O Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed to run on E-85
fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel
system components and is not covered
by the INFINITI vehicle limited warranty.
