A Brain Fart...

My wife's aunt put diesel at her first fill up of her brand new Lexus several years ago. THAT was a problem. I agree with others. Keep adding the right

I agree with others. Keep adding the right stuff frequently until all the cheap stuff is gone. Don't push it hard during the interim and you should be fine.

No worries, here I’ll tell you a story to help you feel a lot better...

Back around 2010 or so with our first nismo, wifey and I wanted to get a pre up rev tune dyno so we could compare before and after, the car had FI lth’s, FI cbe, cai.

We got to our shop for the dyno, decided to fill up beforehand since we were down below a 1/4 tank. Accidentally filled up with 87 octane since we hadn’t driven the z in a while and were used to filling up the dd.

Got to the shop, told them what happened, was expecting to reschedule but we decided to just pour in some octane booster, iirc it was race gas octane booster.

We dynoed, no pinging or knock, and the z put down 321 whp in 5th gear.

Car went on to be thrashed on the track for the next 3 years no problem.

You’ll be fine.
