Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Fuels in Foreign Countries (Gasoline Engines)
If you plan on driving in another country outside the United States or Canada, the proper fuel may be hard to find. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel not recommended in the previous text on fuel. Costly repairs caused by the use of improper fuel would not be covered by your warranty.
To check on fuel availability, ask an auto club, or contact a major oil company that does business in the country where you will be driving.
