Most Comprehensive White Sheet on LFX I've seen
http://gmpowertrain.com/PowertrainFi..._LFX%20V-6.doc
Learned a few things I did not know. This is simply a GREAT engine. :clap: GM |
read it takes E85? Though it says no in the owners manual. so can you put e85 in these things or not?

My manual says its not compatible 87 and higher only???? Anyone else check your manuals.
Read manual states the following. "the eighth digit of the VIN shows the code letter or number that Identifies the vehicles engine. RECOMMENDED FUEL: If the vehicle has a 3.6L V6 engine VIN CODE D, use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 87 or higher. so mine is in a 3 so can we put E85 in these or not? |
I just got mine a month ago, and manuel doesn't say anything about being able to run E85. The person who said it says it in there owners manual can you scan it and post it up.
|
it doesnt say you cant either
|
LFX goes into a lot of cars... and i beleive that the fuel system would also need to be compatible. Perhaps the Camaro doesn't have the fuel system to support, and thats why the manual doesn't state E85...
|
The only thing the manual states is you cant put in e85 if the vehicle is not designed for it. if you read my earlier post its also states that if the vin code is D you cant. LFX motors are VIN CODE 3...so im assuming you can.

It depends very much on the tune. The LFX CAN run E85 in other vehicles, but not openly advertised as such on the 2012 Camaro.
That could mean that the programming to run E85 is included in the other vehicles but perhaps not on the Camaro. Could the camaro run it if it is tuned for it? Of course. E85 has been ran in several LLT V6s and proven to make great power at a cost in fuel mileage. I'm certain you could tune the LFX to do the very same thing. Is E85 supposed to be used in a stock 2012 V6? Not sure about that. |

I called the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center (800-222-1020), and the answer was...
NO the stock 2012 Camaro can NOT use E85. :thumbdown: |
