Sc400 owners what grade fuel do you use?
#48
I believe the thread addressed SC400 owners (1uz) not 2jz owners, so the timing belt may be easy for the 2jz, not so much for the 1uz. Yes, the jz platform is great for gobs of power, no argument there.

I know this thread is asking about a 400 but I'm going to pipe in anyway.
98 SC300 VVT-i. Says premium unleaded only. I used 89 oct for a long time, with no ill effects. I tried 87 oct for sh.ts and giggles.
No ill effects and no difference in my mileage. Still averaging mid to upper 20's mpg. If I run it till the light comes on, which I very rarely do, I'll get over 400 miles to a tank, even with regular unleaded.
