Default Recommended Battery CCA for 2001 GS300

Whats up everyone im trying to figure out what cca rating my battery should be? I have called a few shops and all keep giving me different answers ranging from 575CCA TO 800CCA... Will i experience any problems if i go with 575 rather than higher? Does anyone know what lexus recommends it is? Thanks in advance...

No need to worry about Cold Cranking Amp from a battery....You reside in Cali, I know it barely gets super cold during the winter season so your car will not have any problems starting.

Most people don't look at the CA. As long as its above 500 CA you're good. I currently have a AAP Gold Summer battery with a 530 CA rating(similar to the standard Gold battery with 700 CCA). There's no way of knowing the CCA on mines which is not a big deal since I dont live in a state that gets super cold or snows. Had this battery for almost a year, still cranking up this 14 year old starter just fine.
