Gen octane recommend

Curious if anyone has put different octanes in their tanks? I've usually ran 87 but I've put 89 in too. But I'm not sure if that's maybe what's caused my gen to run hot and possibly overheat and shut down.

Anyone have experienced issues running a different grade?

    No problems with ours.


    That's what I do as well. It just crossed my mind that maybe the higher octane was causing issues
