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. ■
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. ■

dienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

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. ■

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.●

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.
