If you havent changed the compression of the engine then you dont need to change your octane. If the pistons and heads are stock then OEM recommended octane should be fine.

Which is Premium. As recommended by GM. Put in 93 if available in your area or 92 if not. Not regular or Plus, put in the super.

91 or 93 if it is sold locally. I know around here the best we can find is 91, so that is what I normally get...
