The main takeaway is to read what the owners manual says; not take the word of a service advisor or salesperson. The owners manual was written by the manufacturer not the dealership. A good friend of mine drives a 17 Lexus RX350 and the salesperson once said that all Lexus vehicles must use premium. Read the owners manual and it says to use 87 or higher.

100% That’s what I just did.

Good tip, reading the gas cap

2013 es 350 87 baby!

I have the 2024 ES350 and I have been told that it takes regular gas, is this true?

I know several people who feed their Lexuses/Acura/Mercs etc regular gas, and as far as I know none of them have had engine troubles. I think with modern computer systems regulating everything the worst that could happen is a slight dip in fuel economy using regular gas. I do think in the past (like 25+ years back) with more archaic systems actual damage could be done, not sure the degree though.

Yes, the computer will adjust to the new unleaded fuel but you will lose mpg

Chevron,Exxon,Shell which is better for Lexus.

It will run fine but you may get slightly worse fuel economy. The ES isn't a performance car so you aren't likely to notice much of any difference on that front.

my 2014 takes 87 like a champ (and has for 9 years with no hesitation), debating on switching to 89 for possible performance benefits though

Why without turbo these cars need premium gas?

Big engines with a high compression ratio.

I never saw anywhere written for any car, take regular gas. Everywhere written premium gas. even Honda and Toyota

That's bull most cars can take regular and i've owned Hondas and Toyotas

Only if the car says it can run flex fuel. Unlike the "regular vs premium" debate, running 100% ethanol or even ethanol mix in a car not made for it can potentially cause problems with fuel line/pump seals drying out and leaking. (Due to too much alcohol content)

Alllll liessss, you can use regular gas

Use the recommended fuel octane for most times however the new engines will compensate for the fuel you put with lower performance and sometimes knocking so I think use what is written in manual better for your car

@jbm0866

True you can, but you may have slightly worse fuel economy (possibly negating the cost diff) and in some cars performance may be slightly lower as well. Modern computer systems underneath the hood shouldn't allow knocking as you'd find in older (25+ years) cars that require premium only. As always, check forums for your particular model...some may really need premium to avoid damage. (Japanese/American makes not among them however)

Considering the higher compression ratio this Lexus have for instance the 4 cylinder one I’ll put premium will perform great and better than just regular but eh
