REVISED FUEL RECOMMENDATION


SERVICE INFORMATION

Infiniti Owner's Manuals contain fuel recommendations for gasolines which are blended with Oxygenates. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide you, the Infiniti dealer, with revised information to better respond to your customers' questions concerning these Oxygenate-blended gasolines. Certain types of Oxygenate-blended gasolines may contain Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE). Your customers may notice a posted MTBE level on the gasoline pump and ask about its safe usage in their Infiniti vehicles.

Infiniti has determined that MTBE may compose up to 15%, by volume, in each gallon of unleaded gasoline. Current editions of Infiniti Owner's Manuals cite allowable levels of 11%, by volume, of MTBE.


Recommendations for Oxygenate blends of Ethanol or Methanol remain unchanged from the levels currently published in the respective Owner's Manuals:

^ Ethanol, up to 10%, by volume.

^ Methanol, up to 5%, by volume.
