That's Graat , 87 will help my wallet . Just picked up this car 2 weeks ago, started getting it up to date service wise . So far a nice old car to drive ! Minor neglect but at 185,000 still a solid no rust vehicle .

I had over 400,000 on my RED BLOCK Volvo and it was running real strong. Those are 1,000,000 mile motors.

turbos and probably 16V prefer premium, for all else, regular is AOK.
even on the turbos, you CAN run regular, they'll just degrade their performance accordingly by retarding the ignition if they start to knock.
