What kind of gas does a 2008 Lexus take?

The 2008 Lexus uses premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91. Octane is a measure of a fuel's resistance to knocking. The higher the octane rating, the more resistant the fuel is to knocking. Knocking is a potentially damaging condition that can occur when the air/fuel mixture in an engine ignites prematurely. This can cause the engine to run rough and reduce its performance.

Using premium unleaded gasoline in your 2008 Lexus will help to prevent knocking and keep your engine running smoothly. It will also help to protect your engine from damage.

Here are a few things to keep in mind about using premium unleaded gasoline in your 2008 Lexus:

* Do not use regular unleaded gasoline in your 2008 Lexus. Regular unleaded gasoline has an octane rating of 87, which is too low for the 2008 Lexus engine. Using regular unleaded gasoline can cause knocking and damage your engine.

* You can use premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 93 or higher in your 2008 Lexus. However, there is no benefit to using premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating higher than 91 in your 2008 Lexus.

* The best way to ensure that you are using the right gasoline for your 2008 Lexus is to check the owner's manual. The owner's manual will specify the type of gasoline that is recommended for your 2008 Lexus.
