Park Avenue Base Octane???

[Cocowheats]

I just bought a 2002 Park Avenue. It is the base model without the supercharger. I did not receive a manual with it and need to know what octane the manufacturer recommends.

I assume it's unleaded 87, but I'm not positive. I know the supercharged ultras are recommended to run 91-93.

Just wasn't sure if Buick recommends 89 or 91.

Figured somebody would have their manual still....

Thanks.

If it is the "base" model, regular fuel will work fine.

But what does the Buick manual recommend? I'm looking for the manufacture's recommended octane for a '02 base park ave.

Why not just Google search for a "2002 Buick Park Avenue owner's manual" I found the manual in less then 5 minutes and it will download to your computer and then you can read it.

Didn't really think to grab the manual via google...

After flipping through all 395 pages of it....I find they recommend regular unleaded 87 octane OR HIGHER....so probably up to 89....but I'll stick to 87 unless I have issues.

Thanks everybody.

I use 91 highest here in California its just a peace of mind thing.
