Fuel information

Gasoline engine

Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.

Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.

Flex-fuel engine

Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline, E85, or a blend of the two fuels.

Unleaded gasoline (Octane rating 87 [Research Octane Number 91] or higher), E85, or a blend of these two fuels is required for optimum engine performance.

The use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage.

The use of fuel with an ethanol concentration in excess of 85% will have a negative impact on driving performance and can cause damage to the fuel system components.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.

At minimum, the E85 you use should meet the specifications of

ASTM D5798 in the U.S.A.

6-1. Specifications

Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline

To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

If your engine knocks

Consult your Toyota dealer.

You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

Fuel quality

In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of fuel you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of fuel.

If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.

Gasoline quality standards

Automotive manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan have developed a specification for fuel quality called World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that is expected to be applied worldwide.

The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emission levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted.

The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets, and customer satisfaction through better performance.

E85 fuel (Flex-fuel vehicles)

E85 fuel is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. However, E85 does not necessarily contain 85% ethanol. The ethanol content of E85 is required by ASTM to be between 70% and 85%. For example, in cold climates the ethanol content of E85 may be reduced during the winter months to maintain cold weather starting performance.

E85 has less energy per gallon than gasoline, so you will need to fill your fuel tank more frequently when using E85.

The number of fuel stations that sell E85 fuel is limited. For more information about fueling stations, please refer to the U.S. Department of

Energy Web site.

6-1. Specifications

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid build-up of engine deposits.

All gasoline sold in the US contains detergent additives to clean and/or keep clean intake systems.

Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline

Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxygenates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is available in many areas.

Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.

Toyota does not recommend blended gasoline (Gasoline engine)

Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygenate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE.

If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 87.

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

Toyota does not recommend gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely affected.

The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

Toyota does not recommend blended gasoline (Flex-fuel engine)

Do not use non-specified fuels such as the following.

• Fuels containing methanol.

• Fuels with more than 85% ethanol.

Toyota does not recommend the use of after-market fuel additives

(Flex-fuel engine)

Do not use any after-market fuel additives when repeatedly refueling with

E85, as some after-market fuel additives are not compatible with E85.
