* : The engine oil capacity is a reference qu antity to be used when changing the
engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes, and
check the oil level on the dipstick.
■ Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the follow-
ing grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced with
SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.Oil capacity

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the char acteristic of the oil which allows
cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when
the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be b etter suited if the vehicl e is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
The International Lubr icant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC)
Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help you select the
oil you should use.

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Fuel information ■
Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Lexus has a fuel tank opening that only
accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps. ■
If your engine knocks ●
Consult your Lexus dealer. ●
You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating
or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.■
Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gasoline you
are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of gasoline. If this
does not correct the problem, consult your Lexus dealer.Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.
Premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 (Research Octane
Number 96) or higher required for optimum engine performance. If 91
octane cannot be obtained, you may use unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating as low as 87 (Research Octane Number 91). Use of unleaded gaso-
line with an octane rating lower than 91 may result in engine knocking. Per-
sistent knocking can lead to engine damage and should be corrected by
refueling with higher oc tane unleaded gasoline.
At minimum, the gasoline you use shou ld meet the specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A. .

Gasoline quality standards ●
Automotive manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan have developed a
specification for fuel quality called World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that is
expected to be applied worldwide. ●
The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emission
levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted. ●
The WWFC improves air quality by loweri ng emissions in vehicle fleets, and
customer satisfaction th rough better performance.■
Lexus recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives●
Lexus recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid build-up of engine deposits. ●
All gasoline sold in the US contains minimum detergent additives to clean and/
or keep clean intake systems, per EP A’s lowest additive s concentration pro-
gram. ●
Lexus strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For more
information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoli ne and a list of marketers, please go
to the official website www.toptiergas.com.■
Lexus recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline
Cleaner burning gasoline, including reform ulated gasoline that contains oxygen-
ates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Te rtiary Butyl Ether) is available in many
areas.
Lexus recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended
reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle perfor-
mance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) NOTICE■
Notice on fuel quality ●
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be damaged.●
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic con-
verters causing the emission co ntrol system to malfunction.●
Do not use gasohol other than that stated here.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system da mage or vehicle performance problems.●
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than that stated
here will cause persis tent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.■
Fuel-related poor driveability
If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is enco untered (poor hot start-
ing, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that type of fuel.■
When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.
