87 octane, just like it says in the manual. any higher and you are wasting money.

higher octane gases do no improve performance, burn better, faster cleaner, clean the engine, or improve mpg or idle smoother.

octane is a rating for detonation resistance for engines that run high compression.

you would only need to consider higher octane gas if you were turbo or supercharged.
