Fuel Information - Toyota SEQUOIA 2025 Owner's Manual

Fuel information

You must only use 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.
INFORMATION
■
Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand
of gasoline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing
the brand of gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your
Toyota dealer.
■
Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent ad-
ditives
● Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent addi-
tives to avoid build-up of engine deposits.
● All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives
to clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPA's lowest additives
concentration program.
● Toyota strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline.
For more information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of
marketers, please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.
■
Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates such as ethers and ethanol, as well
as reformulated gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are
typically acceptable for use, providing they meet other fuel requirements.
Toyota recommends these fuels, since the formulations allow for reduced
vehicle emissions.
■
Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline
● Use only gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol.
