Gasoline quality
In a very few cases, you may experience driveability problems
caused by the particular gasoline that you are using. If you
continue to have unacceptable driveability, try changing
gasoline brands. If this does not rectify your problem, then
consult your Lexus dealer.
NOTICE
Do not use gasohol other than stated above. It will
cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.
If drivability problems are encountered (poor hot
starting, vaporizing, engine knock, etc.), discontinue
its use.
Take care not to spill gasohol during refueling.
Gasohol may cause paint damage.

Engine oil selection
Toyota Genuine Motor Oilº is filled in your Lexus vehicle. Use
Lexus approved Toyota Genuine Motor Oilº or equivalent to
satisfy the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: API grade SL Energy-Conservingº or ILSAC
multigrade engine oil.
Recommended viscosity: SAE 5W-30
62Z002
Outside temperature
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice, for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 5W-30 oil is not available, SAE 10W-30 may be
used. However, it should be replaced with SAE 5W-30 at
the next oil change.
Oil identification marks

API Service Symbol
ILSAC Certification Mark
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil
containers to help you select the oil you should use.
The API Service Symbol is located anywhere on the outside
of the container.
The top portion of the label shows the oil quality by API
(American Petroleum Institute) designation such as SL.
The center portion of the label shows the SAE viscosity
grade such as SAE 5W-30. Energy-Conservingº, shown
in the lower portion, indicates that the oil has fuel-saving
capabilities.
The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and
Approval Committee) Certification Mark is displayed on the
front of the container.

Inspection and adjustment procedure

1Tire valve
2Tire pressure gauge
1. Remove the tire valve cap.
2. Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge to the tire
valve.
3. Read the pressure using a graduation of the gauge.
4. In case that the tire inflation pressure is not within
the prescribed range, insert the compressed air from
the valve. In case of applying too much air, press
the center of the valve and release the air to adjust.
5. After completing the tire inflation pressure
measurement and adjustment, apply soap water to
the valve and check the leakage.
6. Install the tire valve cap.If the gauge and the air pump are not available, have
your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps. Without
the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve core and cause air leakage. If the caps
have been lost, have new ones put on as soon
as possible.
Incorrect tire inflation pressure may waste fuel, reduce
the comfort of driving, reduce tire life and make your
vehicle less safe to drive.
If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by
your Lexus dealer.
