Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the follow-
ing grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity:
SAE 5W-30
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good starting
in cold weather.
If SAE 5W-30 is not available, SAE
10W-30 oil may be used. However, it
should be replaced with SAE 5W-30
at the next oil change.

Outside temperature

Oil viscosity (5W-30 is explained here
as an example):
• The 5W in 5W-30 indicates the

characteristic 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 30 in 5W-30 indicates the vis-

cosity 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 vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.

How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specifica-
tion Advisory Committee (ILSAC)
Certification Mark is added to some oil
containers to help you select the oil
you should use.

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.

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

information on Top Tier Detergent Gas-

oline 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,

providing they meet other fuel require-

ments.
Lexus recommends these fuels, since the

formulations allow for reduced vehicle

emissions.

Non-recommendation of the use of

blended gasoline

Use only gasoline containing up to 15%

ethanol.

DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline

that could contain more than 15% etha-

nol, including from any pump labeled
E30 (30% ethanol [

]), E50 (50%

ethanol [

]), E85 (85% ethanol [

])

(which are only some examples of fuel

containing more than 15% ethanol).

If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure

that it has an octane rating no lower than

91.

Lexus does not recommend the use of

gasoline containing methanol.

Non-recommendation of the use of gas-

oline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains an octane enhanc-

ing additive called MMT (Methylcyclopen-

tadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Lexus does not recommend the use of gas-

oline that contains MMT. If fuel containing

MMT is used, your emission control system

may be adversely affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the

instrument cluster may come on. If this hap-

pens, contact your Lexus dealer for service.

If your engine knocks

Consult your Lexus dealer.

You may occasionally notice light knock-

Fuel information

You must only use unleaded gaso-
line.

Select premium unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 91
(Research Octane Number 96) or
higher required for optimum
engine performance and fuel econ-
omy. 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
should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A..

ing for a short time while accelerating or

driving uphill. This is normal and there is

no need for concern.

NOTICE

Notice on fuel quality

Do not use improper fuels. If improper

fuels are used, the engine will be dam-

aged.

Do not use leaded gasoline.

Leaded gasoline can cause damage to

your vehicle’s three-way catalytic con-

verters 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 prob-

lems.

Using unleaded gasoline with an

octane number or rating lower than

the level previously stated may cause

persistent heavy knocking.

At worst, this may lead to engine dam-

age and will void the vehicle warranty.

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot starting,

vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is

encountered 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.

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled con-
ditions on a specified government test
course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well
on the government course as a tire graded
100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use.
Performance may differ significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they
represent the tire’s ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on braking (straight

ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire
assume that it is properly inflated and not
overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
