Fuel E85 (85% Ethanol)

The 8th digit of your vehicle identiﬁcation number (VIN)

shows the code letter or number that identiﬁes your

engine. You will ﬁnd the VIN at the top left of the

instrument panel. See Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number

(VIN) on page 5-122.

If your vehicle has the 5.3L V8 engine (VIN Code Z only),

you may use either regular unleaded gasoline or ethanol

fuel containing up to 85% ethanol (E85); also see Fuel on

page 5-6. In all other engines, including the 5.3L V8 (VIN

Code T), use only regular unleaded gasoline.

Only vehicles that have the 5.3L V8 engine (VIN Code Z)

may use 85% ethanol fuel (E85). General Motors

encourages the use of E85 in vehicles that are designed

to use it. The ethanol in E85 is a “renewable” fuel,

meaning it is made from renewable sources such as corn

and other crops.

Many service stations will not have an 85% ethanol

fuel (E85) pump available. The U. S. Department

of Energy has an alternative fuels website

(http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/infrastructure/locator.html)

that can help you ﬁnd E85 fuel. Those stations that do

have E85 should have a label indicating ethanol

content. Do not use the fuel if the ethanol content is

greater than 85%.

At a minimum, E85 should meet ASTM

Speciﬁcation D 5798.

To ensure quick starts in the wintertime, the E85 fuel

must be formulated properly for your climate according

to ASTM speciﬁcation D 5798. If you have trouble

starting on E85, it may be because your E85 fuel is not

properly formulated for your climate. If this happens,

switching to gasoline or adding gasoline to your fuel tank

may improve starting. Your vehicle is designed to

accommodate a mixture of gasoline and E85 fuel. For

good starting and heater efficiency below 32°F (0°C), the

fuel mix in the fuel tank should contain no more than

70% ethanol.
