■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.
■Gasoline quality standards
●Automotive manufacturers in the U.S.A., Eu rope and Japan have developed a specifi-
cation for fuel quality called the World-Wi de Fuel Charter (WWFC), which is expected
to be applied worldwide.
●The WWFC consists of four cat egories that are based on required emission levels. In
the U.S., category 4 has been adopted.
●The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets, and improves
customer satisfaction through better performance.
Fuel information
You must only use unleaded gasoline.
IS350/IS300
Select 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 gasoline
with an octane rating lower than 91 may result in engine knocking and signifi-
cantly reduced performance. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage
and should be corrected by refueling with higher octane unleaded gasoline.
IS200t
Select 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 gasoline
with an octane rating lower than 91 ma y result in engine knocking. Persistent
knocking can lead to engine damage and should be corrected by refueling
with higher octane unleaded gasoline.
At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A..

■Recommendation of the use of gasoli ne containing detergent additives
●Lexus recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid the
build-up of engine deposits.
●All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to clean and/or
keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives concentration program.
●Lexus strongly recommends the use of Top Ti er Detergent Gasoline. For more informa-
tion on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers, please go to the official
website www.toptiergas.com.
■Recommendation of the use of low emission gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates such as et hers and ethanol, as well as reformulated
gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are typically acceptable for use, pro-
viding they meet other fuel requirements.
Lexus recommends these fuels, since the fo rmulations allow for reduced vehicle emis-
sions.
■Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline
●If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure th at it has an octane rating no lower than 87.
●Lexus does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.
■Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane enhancin g additive called MMT (Methylcyclopenta-
dienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Lexus does not recommend the use of gasolin e that contains MMT. If fuel containing
MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the instru ment cluster may come on. If this happens,
contact your Lexus dealer for service.
■If your engine knocks
●Consult your Lexus dealer.
●You may occasionally notice light knocking fo r a short time while accelerating or driv-
ing uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
●Use only gasoline containing up to 15% etha-
nol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline that
could contain more than 15% ethanol, includ-
ing from any pump labeled E30, E50, E85
(which are only some examples of fuel con-
taining more than 15% ethanol).DO NOT use gasoline con-
taining more than 15% ethanol.
(30% ethanol)
(50% ethanol)
(85% ethanol)

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 converters
causing the emission control system to malfunction.
●Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems.
●Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the level previ-
ously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.
■Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is encoun-
tered after using a different type of fuel, 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.
