I cant believe this has gone on for 12 pages.
Its pretty simple, 87 is fine, 91 is fine, use whatever you feel appropriate. Timing will be adjusted accordingly.
I fill 87 because im a cheap *** and this car isnt worth the extra $$. My sc430 on the other hand will knock if you put anything lower than 91.

The definitive word from Lexus: Which fuel grade should I use for my Lexus vehicle? (https://support.lexus.com/s/article/...rade-shou-8129.)
I'm sure this will end the discussion, and this thread will never see another post.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

This thread is more nostalgic than my best old sweatshirt!
Here's the definitive rule for fueling your Gen. 4 RX, and I quote the former service manager of Lexus Dayton:
"It runs on regular. It runs better on premium."
NOW, we can be done.

Just follow the darn owners manual! How much longer does this need to be discussed?
