Octane Requirement At 5200 Feet

Recommended Posts

2002 RX300, 105000 mi. Moving to Denver where the regular unlead octane is 85 (R+M/2). Do you think altitude makes that much difference to octane requirement? Anyone know what Lexus says? Manual says to use 87 (R+R/2). Thanks!

We use 86 here in Albuquerque where the altitude is about 5500 feet. No problems.
