first of all if it says PREMIUM FUEL ONLY under the fuel gauge its not decoration or maybe they meant only when you can afford it. uh no that means that's what the engine calls for. have you ever heard of High Compression? 10.3:1 is the compression ratio. the engine calls for 91 octane or better. you have to use premium fuel. Premium fuel; fully Synthetic oil EVERY 3000 MILES; New air filter every oil change (only 12 bucks cheap as* NEW ENGINE IS $5000) and change your fuel filter 12 bucks that's it. And NEVER BUY GAS FROM SWIFTY! gas isn't just gas and oil is not just oil, you get what you pay for. save 15 cents a gallon at Swifty instead of Shell 93 and get no detergents or cleaning agents. same with cheap oil.
Unlike the previous year 2000 model that required Premium fuel, the 2001 Aurora V6 & V8 both can run on Regular.
unleaded...besides that don't waste your money on premium gas, the car's not worth it.
I run standard gas in my 1995 4.0 and it runs fine. If you notice a pinging noise upon hard acceleration go back to premium. But you should be ok.
key on engine off...push gas pedal to the floor 5 timrs witin 3 seconds ..this will turn your lite out
It can ..but the compression ratio require 91 octane minimum...
most likely 14 to 16 gallons
Nothing less then premium. 91 octane is as low as you can go.
premium. owners manual and fuel door say so
premium
If you mean the float that measures fuel level, it's in the gas tank.

I just read that there was a recall on the fuel lines and other parts sometime in 2004. Google "recalls on a 96 olds aurora" and it will list it.
