RTFM to read what 'Spec' they use and either go to an autoparts store and find a brand that meets the spec...or go to the dealership and just buy it there.

It can't be topped off with anything you can buy anywhere. Car has to be traded in.

lol seriously.


the only reason im asking, is if theres anyplace other to get it than the dealership (like a 30-40 minute drive).


cause they specify that its like one specific type has to be used.
