E10

[Rexlex]

Hi guys, can anyone say if E10 is ok in an RX 300 2005 model?

The government website says no to the GS of the same year as mine and with the same engine but nothing about the RX 300

Should I use super unleaded??

Mine is fine.

Though I will be using V-Power as I tend to anyway...

"The good news is that the vast majority of Lexus models with a petrol engine or hybrid powertrain and that were officially supplied within the European market since January 1998 are compatible with E10 petrol. The only exceptions to this rule are the following models:

• Lexus IS 250 with 2.5-litre V6 4GR-FSE engine made between August 2005 and September 2007
• Lexus GS 300 with 3.0-litre V6 3GR-FSE engine made between January 2005 and September 2007
• Lexus LS 460 with 4.6-litre V8 1UR-FSE engine made between August 2006 and September 2007"

I've had variable results with E10 so far. First fill, the engine was gutless, the second fill at a different station was lots better, but still not as powerful as previous E5 95RON.

I put it down to fuel being stored for months before the switch-over and the fuel going stale.

Filled my car up yesterday ( and 3 litres in a red can ).
