Accidentally put 87 in the REX
That bad and what do I do with a full tank of it now? Wasn't paying attention when I was pumping gas until about a third of the way through fueling.

I'm at 90K on my original '04 engine, been using 87 octane pretty much since day one. Don't worry about it, just drive the car.
|
Just "enjoy" a little less performance, and don't repeat. That's pretty much what my manual reads.
|
Yeah, I also almost always use 87. So, unless you experience problems, nothing to worry about.
|
Well I haven't noticed any difference but I just wanted to make sure I was going to cause severe engine damage like the manual states even though manuals like to over exaggerate things sometimes.

I did it once in my 05 couple years back, it made the marbles in a can sound and I've never used anything but 93 since. Little powerloss but you should be ok.

I seriously don't think so. My manual reads that you will likely experience a loss in performance at lower octane. If it could cause serious engine damage, I'd think it would be page 1 in red. You're gonna be okay.

you'll probably notice the difference when you go back to premium. I can certainly tell a difference in the performance between 89 and 93.

I agree woth OR, take it easy while using the lower octain as it can't stand up to the hotter temps. as well as the higher octaine. Or, you can just put a can of octaine booster in your tank ;-)

you should be fine just dont do it again
