I used to not use higher than 87, BUT I have noticed that my truck will
start spark-knocking under WOT when it is hot , like after sitting in
bumper-to-bumper traffic with the 87. From everything that I have heard ,
the dealer will most likely tell me that I need to run premium (which I do
not) as a fix , so untill I actually get the time to bring her by the shop
and raise hell , I will run premium. Hell , I can get 93 octane here for
about 95 cents per gallon , so I'm not complaining too much.
But yes , the owner's manual says 87 , you are correct .
