Recently I have noticed that my car has started to ping over the last two fill ups and I've been using Chevron 92 Octane. When I first got the car, I had no idea the MP3 was supposed to run Premium but was running 89 (stickers were gone.. and no manual, read up on here that its supposed)
It only happens about around mid-throttle, clears up near WOT. Is there something I should check out, try a different gas station, reset the ECU, etc? Air filter is new, not sure if the dealership changed the plugs/wires, etc.
Also, I am coming up on an oil change, no idea what the dealership I got the car from put in it (no sticker and they "lost" the record) so I am assuming its dino oil. Would be it alright to switch to Synth with 120k on the odo? If so, what do you all recommend?
Thanks!
