■

Use of ethanol blended gasoline in a

gasoline engine

Lexus allows the use of ethanol blended

gasoline where the ethanol content is up to

10%. Make sure that the ethanol blended

gasoline to be used has a Research Octane

Number that follows the above.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult any authorized Lexus retailer or

Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

●

You may occasionally notice light knock-

ing for a short time while accelerating or

driving uphill. This is normal and there is

no need for concern.

Fuel information

When you find these types of fuel
label at the gas station, use only the
fuel with one of the following labels.

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper

fuels are used, the engine will be dam-

aged.

●

Do not use gasoline with metallic addi-

tives, for example manganese, iron or

lead, otherwise it may cause damage

on your engine or emission control

system.

●

Do not add aftermarket fuel additives

which contain metallic additives.

●

EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under

names such as “E50” or “E85” and

fuel containing a large amount of etha-

nol should not be used. The use of

these fuels will damage the vehicle’s

fuel system. In case of any doubt, ask

any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

●

Except EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold

under names such as “E50” or “E85”

and fuel containing a large amount of

ethanol should not be used. Your vehi-

cle can use gasoline mixed with 10%

max ethanol. The use of fuel with more

than 10% ethanol content (E10) will

damage the vehicle’s fuel system. You

must ensure that refueling is carried

out only from a source where fuel

specification and quality can be guar-

anteed. In case of any doubt, ask any

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

●

Do not use the methanol blended gas-

oline such as M15, M85, M100.

The use of gasoline containing metha-

nol may cause engine damage or fail-

ure.
