Chevrolet Silverado: Fuel / Recommended Fuel (Except 6.2L V8 Engine)
For diesel engine vehicles, see “Fuel for Diesel Engines” in the Duramax diesel
supplement.

If the vehicle has a yellow fuel cap or a yellow sticker on the fuel door, E85
or FlexFuel can be used. If the vehicle does not have a yellow fuel cap or yellow
sticker, do not use gasoline with ethanol levels greater than 15% by volume. See
E85 or FlexFuel 0 278.
Use regular unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM specification D4814 with a posted
octane rating of 87 — (R+M)/2 — or higher. Do not use gasoline with a posted octane
rating of less than 87, as this may cause engine knock and will lower fuel economy.

reduce engine deposits, and maintain optimal vehicle performance. Look for the TOP
