gasoline is considered misuse of the engine and will not be covered under the limited warranty.
Fuel Ratings
Mercury MerCruiser engines will operate satisfactorily with any major brand of unleaded gasoline that meets the following
specifications:
USA and Canada ā A posted pump octane rating of 87 (R+M)/2, minimum, for all models. Premium gasoline 91 (R+M)/2
octane is also acceptable for all models. Do not use leaded gasoline.
Outside USA and Canada ā A posted pump octane rating of 91 RON, minimum, for all models. Premium gasoline (95 RON) is
also acceptable for all models. Do not use leaded gasoline.
Using Reformulated (Oxygenated) Gasoline (USA Only)
Reformulated gasoline is required in certain areas of the USA and is acceptable for use in your Mercury Marine engine. The
only oxygenate currently in use in the USA is alcohol (ethanol, methanol, or butanol).
