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 following
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 start-
ing 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 viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold
startability. Oils with a lower value be fore the W allow for easier starting of
the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscos ity characteristic of the oil when the
oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if the ve hicle is operated at high speeds, or
under extreme lo ad conditions.
How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specifi cation Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Cer-
tification Mark is added to some oil cont ainers to help you select the oil you
should use. Outside te mperature

Fuel information ■
Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveabilit y problems may be caused by th e brand of gasoline you are
using. If driveability problems persist, try ch anging 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., Europe and Japan have developed a specifi-
cation for fuel quality calle d the World-Wide Fuel Charte r (WWFC), which is expected
to be applied worldwide. ●
The WWFC consists of four categories 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 th rough better performance.■
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 lis t of marketers, please go to the official
website www.toptiergas.com. ■
Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates such as et hers and ethanol, as well as reformulated
gasolines, are available in some cities. Thes e fuels are typically acceptable for use, pro-
viding they meet other fuel requirements.
Lexus recommends these fuels, since the form ulations allow for reduced vehicle emis-
sions.You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 (Research
Octane Number 96) or higher requir ed for optimum engine performance
and fuel economy. If the octane rating is less than 91, damage to the engine
may occur and may void the vehicle warranty.
At minimum, the gasoline you use shou ld meet the specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A. .

Vehicle specifications ■
Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline
●
If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane ra ting no lower than 91.●
Lexus does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol. ■
Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains on octane enhancin g additive called MMT (Methylcy clopenta-
dienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Lexus does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel containing
MMT is used, your emission control system may be ad versely 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 for 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 en gine 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 numb er or rating lower than the level previ-
ously stated may cause pe rsistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this may lead to engine da mage and will void the vehicle warranty.■
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.
