GM recommends the use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline to keep the engine clean, reduce engine deposits, and maintain optimal vehicle performance. Look for the TOP TIER Logo or see www.toptiergas.com for a list of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline marketers and applicable countries.
For diesel engine vehicles, see “Fuel for Diesel Engines” in the Duramax diesel supplement.
Caution
Do not use fuels with any of the following conditions; doing so may damage the vehicle and void its warranty:
Fuels in Foreign Countries
The U.S., Canada, and Mexico post fuel octane ratings in the anti-knock index (AKI). For fuel not to use in a foreign country, see Prohibited Fuels 0 301.
Fuel Additives
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is highly recommended for use with your vehicle. If your country does not have TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, add ACDelco Fuel System Treatment Plus−Gasoline to the vehicle’s gasoline fuel tank at every oil change or 15 000 km (9,000 mi), whichever occurs first. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline and ACDelco Fuel System Treatment Plus −Gasoline will help keep your vehicle’s engine fuel deposit free and performing optimally.
Filling the Tank (Pickup Model)
If the vehicle has a diesel engine, see the Duramax diesel supplement. An arrow on the fuel gauge indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel door is on. See Fuel Gauge 108.
Warning
Fuel vapors and fuel fires burn violently and can cause injury or death. Follow these guidelines to help avoid injuries to you and others:
The capless refueling system does not have a fuel cap. Fully insert and latch the fill nozzle, begin fueling.
Warning
Overfilling the fuel tank by more than three clicks of a standard fill nozzle may cause:
Be careful not to spill fuel. Wait five seconds after you have finished pumping before removing the fill nozzle. Clean fuel from painted surfaces as soon as possible. See Exterior Care 0 411. Push the fuel door closed.
Warning
If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not remove the fill nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by shutting off the pump or by notifying the station attendant. Leave the area immediately
Filling the Tank with a Portable Fuel Container
If the vehicle runs out of fuel and must be filled from a portable fuel container:
An arrow on the fuel gauge indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel door is on. See Fuel Gauge 0 108.
Warning
Fuel vapors and fuel fires burn violently and can cause injury or death. Follow these guidelines to help avoid injuries to you and others:
Use the fuel cap key to unlock the fuel cap then turn the fuel cap counterclockwise to remove it. Fully insert and latch the fill nozzle, and begin fueling.
Warning
Overfilling the fuel tank by more than three clicks of a standard fill nozzle may cause:
Be careful not to spill fuel. Wait five seconds after you have finished pumping before removing the fill nozzle. Clean fuel from painted surfaces as soon as possible. See Exterior Care 0 411. Reinstall the cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks.
Warning
If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not remove the fill nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by shutting off the pump or by notifying the station attendant. Leave the area immediately.
Caution
If a new fuel cap is needed, get the right type of cap from your dealer. The wrong type of fuel cap may not fit properly, may turn on the malfunction indicator lamp, and could damage the fuel system and emissions system. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine Light) 114.
Warning
Never fill a portable fuel container while it is in the vehicle. Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite the fuel vapor. You or others could be badly burned and the vehicle could be damaged. To help avoid injury to you and others:
