Oil viscosity (0W-20 is expla
ined here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 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 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity 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 conditions.
How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers
to help you select the oil you should use. API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SN”
means the oil quality designation by
American Petroleum Institute
(API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20”
means the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Con-
serving” means that the oil has fuel-
saving and environmental protec-
tion capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant Specifi-
cation Advisory Committee
(ILSAC) Certification Mark is dis-
played on the front of the container.

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 will cause the three-way catalytic converter to lose its effective-
ness and the emission control system to function improperly.
●EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as “E50” or “E85” and fuel con-
taining a large amount of ethanol 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
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●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 vehicle 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 guaranteed. In case of any doubt, ask any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
