The coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “FULL”/“F” and “LOW”/“L”
lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.
■Engine coolant reservoir
Reservoir cap
“FULL” line
“LOW” line
If the level is on or below the “LOW” lin e, add coolant up to the “FULL” line.
(  P. 512)
■Intercooler coolant re servoir (GS300 only)
Reservoir cap
“F” line
“L” line
If the level is on or below the “L” line,
add coolant up to the “F” line.

Maintenance and care
■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid
organic acid technology.
U.S.A.:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixt ure of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water.
(Minimum temperature: -31 F [-35 C])
Canada:
“Toyota Super Long Life Cool ant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deionized water.
(Minimum temperature: -44 F [-42C])
For more details about coolant, contact your Lexus dealer.
■If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir caps, drain cock and water
pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your Lexus de aler test the cap and check for leaks in the
cooling system.
WARNING
■When the engine is hot
Do not remove the engine coolant reservoir cap, the intercooler coolant reservoir cap
or the coolant inlet cap. ( P. 516)
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is
removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The correct mixture of water and
antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion protection and cool-
ing. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the h ood, do not open the hood until the steam
has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fans and
belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
●GS350: Do not loosen the coolant inlet cap
or the engine coolant reservoir cap while the
engine and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
●GS F: Do not loosen the engine coolant res-
ervoir cap while the engine and radiator are
hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
●GS300: Do not loosen the coolant inlet cap,
the engine coolant rese rvoir cap or the inter-
cooler coolant reservoir cap while the engine
and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
