[QUOTE="Iceduke, post: 29975, member: 3721"] Wondering if others here have the same issue....Decided to pump about 26lits of Shell yesterday to try and lo and behold this morning Check Engine light came on (was on Petronas since I got the car)..stopped and went for lunch just now and light disappeared. Engine idled normally but can feel slight loss in power during acceleration runs...the 'push factor' isnt as strong as it use to be...It could be psychological but could different brands (with different additives) cause this? I am running the N42 engine....mileage 92k...just serviced but the spark plugs are still the original BMW (NGK) ones which the mech says can still be used...could it be this?Gonna check in the car with the dealer tomorrow for checkup and to replace the oustanding psteering pipes and power window guides...Appreciate any feedback...thanks bros ;) [/QUOTE]
