Just got my car on road not too long ago... do you guys use premium in your MS6 or just regular (87). Also i recently got a full sythentic oil change, do you guys use something different like mobil 1? Just want my ms6 for the long run
 
all turbo cars its better(generally required) to run premium gas in. Also synthetic oil also better for turbo cars for obvious reasons.

What he said. The factory manual suggests we should be running 93 octane, but for places like Vegas where only 91 is avaliable, it can run fine with that. Also, Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil is what I use, and recommend. Great reviews.
 
These cars need high octane fuel. Running 87 causes the fuel/air to predetonate. With 87, the ECU significantly retards the timing (killing power and milage) to prevent you from blowing up your engine. You can run 87 in a pinch, but it is definitely not recommended.

I run whatever full synthetic my quick-lube place puts in. I'm usually too lazy to crawl under and do it myself. For me, synthetic makes a noticable difference in how smooth the engine revs. I run Mobile 1 in my sportbike and think it is liquid gold.

fixed. and yeah these cars come with a lot of advanced timing from the factory.
