What octane gas to run? Where is the jack arm?

[DSMvroom]

Hi, i just bought my 99 GST today and it doesnt have an owner's manual

So, could anyone please fill me in on what octane gas I should use? It's 100% stock.

Also, i lifted the trunk and there is the jack next to the spare, but no jack arm to turn it with. And add to that, I couldn't take the jack out of its holster. Help please? Thx a bunch

you should be using premium gas in a turbo charged car. some people may say middle grade is ok, but I'd rather play it safe and use premium for a few cents more.

ok cool. any info about the jack?

There should be a tool pouch. Check under the spare.

Grab an owner's manual off eBay.

The octane requirement for our cars is a minimum of 91 octane, any lower and you risk damage to your engine.

I have heard some pretty bad horror stories of people trying to save some money and putting 89 in their cars.... even if you dont boost, it's very bad. The jack is probably "stuck" because you are supposed to turn the jack to make it go up so it sticks in the trunk and doesnt rattle around, turn it so it isnt being held then it will come right out..
If you really need to use a jack and you have to use stock jack just get a long screwdriver and start turning a lot , I've done it a few times.
