252 Driving and Operating
Fuels in Foreign
Countries
The U.S., Canada, and Mexico post
fuel octane ratings in anti-knock
index (AKI). For fuel not to use in a
foreign country, see Prohibited
Fuels (Gasoline) 0 251.
Fuel Additives (Gasoline)
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.
Fuel Additives (Diesel)
TOP TIER Detergent Diesel is
highly recommended for use with
your vehicle. If your area does not
have TOP TIER Detergent Diesel,
GM recommends the use of
ACDelco Diesel Fuel Conditioner.
This will help you maintain optimal
engine performance. GM does not
recommend other aftermarket diesel
additives.
In the event you refuel using
low-quality diesel, GM recommends
adding ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus-Diesel can help
clean engine deposits and is
available only at your GM
dealership.

The selection of a high-quality fuel
is important for maintaining optimum
vehicle performance. Diesel fuel

requirements in the most current
versions of the local fuel standards

ppm sulfur.
Do not use a diesel blend containing
more than 20% biodiesel by volume.
