What kind of gas does a 2007 Toyota Solara take?

The 2007 Toyota Solara uses regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 (AKI), for all its engine options.


In detail, the Solara offered two engines in 2007—the 2.4-liter four-cylinder and the 3.3-liter V6. Toyota’s guidance for both engines is the same: fuel with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Premium gasoline (commonly 91–93 octane) is not required, though you may use it if you prefer or if local fuel quality suggests it. Do not use diesel fuel in this gasoline-powered vehicle.


Fuel type and octane


Here is a concise guide to the fuel requirements for the 2007 Solara. This applies to the common US-market trims and engines for that model year.


Before listing, note these key points about octane and fuel type:



  • Regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 (AKI) is the standard recommendation for both the 2.4 L I4 and the 3.3 L V6 in the 2007 Solara.

  • Premium gasoline (typically 91–93 octane) is not required; it may be used, but it does not guarantee higher performance or efficiency in this model.

  • Do not use diesel fuel or gasoline with additives not approved by Toyota for this engine family.


In summary, the 2007 Solara is designed to run on 87-octane regular unleaded fuel. The option to use higher-octane fuel is available but not necessary for normal operation.


Engine options and fuel considerations


Both the 2.4 L four-cylinder and 3.3 L V6 Solara share the same basic fuel requirement: regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane of 87. Premium is optional and not required for standard performance.


Summary


The 2007 Toyota Solara takes regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 (AKI). This applies to both engine choices from that model year; while you can use higher-octane fuel if you wish, it is not required for normal operation.
