Alfa Romeo Giulia (2018 year). Manual - part 57

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

While operating on gasoline with the

required octane number, hearing a light

knocking sound from the engine is not a

cause for concern. However, if the engine

is heard making a heavy knocking sound,

see your dealer immediately. Use of

gasoline with a lower than recommended

octane number can cause engine failure

and may void or not be covered by the

New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Reformulated Gasoline

Many areas of the country require the

use of cleaner burning gasoline referred

to as “Reformulated Gasoline”.

Reformulated gasoline contains

oxygenates and are specifically blended

to reduce vehicle emissions and improve

air quality.

The use of reformulated gasoline is

recommended. Properly blended

reformulated gasoline will provide

improved performance and durability of

engine and fuel system components.

Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends

Caution!

DO NOTuse E-85, gasoline containing

methanol, or gasoline containing more than

15% ethanol (E-15). Use of these blends

may result in starting and drivability

problems, damage critical fuel system

components, cause emissions to exceed the

applicable standard, and/or cause the

“Malfunction Indicator Light” to illuminate.

Please observe pump labels as they should

clearly communicate if a fuel contains

greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).

Problems that result from using gasoline

containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15)

or gasoline containing methanol are not

the responsibility of the manufacturer

and may void or not be covered under

New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

CNG And LP Fuel System Modifications

Modifications that allow the engine to

run on compressed natural gas (CNG) or

liquid propane (LP) may result in damage

to the engine, emissions, and fuel system

components. Problems that result from

running CNG or LP are not the

responsibility of the manufacturer and

may void or not be covered under the

New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

MMT In Gasoline

Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese

Tricarbonyl (MMT) is a manganese-

containing metallic additive that is

blended into some gasoline to increase

octane. Gasoline blended with MMT

provides no performance advantage

beyond gasoline of the same octane

number without MMT. Gasoline blended

with MMTreduces spark plug life and

reduces emissions system performance

in some vehicles.The manufacturer

recommends that gasoline without MMT

be used in your vehicle.The MMTcontent

of gasoline may not be indicated on the

gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask

your gasoline retailer whether the

gasoline contains MMT. MMTis

prohibited in Federal and California

reformulated gasoline.

Materials Added To Fuel

Besides using unleaded gasoline with the

proper octane rating, gasolines that

contain detergents, corrosion and

stability additives are recommended.

Using gasolines that have these additives

will help improve fuel economy, reduce

emissions, and maintain vehicle

performance.

DesignatedTOPTIER

Detergent Gasoline

contains a higher level

of detergents to

further aide in

minimizing engine and

fuel system deposits.

When available, the usage ofTOPTIER

Detergent gasoline is recommended.

Visit www.toptiergas.com for a list of

TOPTIER Detergent Gasoline Retailers.

Indiscriminate use of fuel system

cleaning agents should be avoided. Many

of these materials intended for gum and

varnish removal may contain active

solvents or similar ingredients.These can

harm fuel system gasket and diaphragm

materials.

Fuel System Cautions

Caution!

Follow these guidelines to maintain your

vehicle’s performance:

The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited

by Federal law. Using leaded gasoline can

impair engine performance and damage the

emissions control system.

An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or

ignition malfunctions can cause the

catalytic converter to overheat. If you

notice a pungent burning odor or some light

smoke, your engine may be out of tune or

malfunctioning and may require immediate

service. Contact an authorized dealer for

service assistance.

The use of fuel additives, which are now

being sold as octane enhancers, is not

recommended. Most of these products

contain high concentrations of methanol.

Fuel system damage or vehicle

performance problems resulting from the

use of such fuels or additives is not the

responsibility of the manufacturer and may

void or not be covered under the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Note:

Intentional tampering with the

emissions control system can result in

civil penalties being assessed against

you.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the requirements of the

Scheduled Servicing Plan. Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel consumption and emission specifications.

Lubricant quality is crucial for engine operation and duration.
