My wife called and said the "Service Engine Soon" light on the X came on today. I am at work and won't be home until 7 a.m., tomorrow. Anyone have their owner's manual handy that they could tell me what this means?

Cheers,

OK, no need to reply, as my wife actually took the time to read the manual and found it was likely the 85 grade fuel that I put in it before reading it requires a minimum of 87.

I didn't know there was 85 octane gas. All I've ever seen was 87 and up. Learn something new every day.

I've only seen it here in Colorado. It's a drag. We get 85, 87 and 91.

Hmmm...they do some weird things in CO!

87-93 octane is the range here. Thankfully I have diesel and don't run into those problems.
