Jonno Member 79 Member For: 18y 8m 29d Posted 21/07/08 02:02 PM Share Posted 21/07/08 02:02 PM Today I took my 06 BFII XR6T to the Muppets at the local Ford dealer for its 30K service. Apart from the regular bumbling, half truths, lies, and lack of knowledge, rudeness and disrespect that I have come to expect from this Ford Dealer, something stood out.At each service I have complained about the fuel consumption. Today, the new service manager explained that as well as flashing the ECU with the latest Ford tune, they had reset my octane rating from 91 to 95. Is this possible? How was it set incorrectly to 91 in the first place? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47835-octane-rating-reset-at-30k-service/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read your manual it says put 95RON fuel in your car... but you can use 91 at the sacrifice of performance.

It should "adapt" to whatever fuel you put in it.Sounds like an awesome dealer you've found!
