What grade of gasoline should be used for Lexus ES?
2 Answers
Lexus ES can use both 92 and 95 octane gasoline. The gasoline grade represents the octane rating of the fuel, not its quality level, and neither grade will cause any damage to the engine. 92 octane gasoline is more prone to detonation but has less explosive force, while 95 octane gasoline is less prone to detonation but has greater explosive force. The Lexus ES measures 4900mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820mm. This car continues the new family design, featuring a sharp and dynamic spindle grille and striking L-shaped LED daytime running lights that together create a bold yet sporty front-end layout.
Attention all ES owners, using 95 octane is the safest choice for starting up! My neighbor, mechanic Lao Wang, says these cars all have compression ratios exceeding 10:1, and 95 octane's anti-knock properties perfectly match the engine's operating conditions. You might not notice much difference with 92 octane in the short term, but over time, the engine light is more likely to come on, and carbon deposits can build up. This is especially true for the hybrid version, as the ECU calibration is more sensitive to gasoline quality. There's a reason the fuel cap says 'Please use 95 octane or above'—don't try to save a few bucks only to lose big in the long run. Oh, and remember to choose reputable gas stations; no matter how cheap private ones are, stay away—their fuel quality really isn't guaranteed.
