■Recommendation of the use of gasoline 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 Tier 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 emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates such as ethers 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 formulations allow for reduced vehicle emis-
sions.

●If you use gasohol in your Lexus, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 91.
●Lexus does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

dienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely affected.

contact your Lexus dealer for service.

nol.

could contain more than 15% ethanol, includ-
ing from any pump labeled E30, E50, E85
