87 octane
when I bought my 2018 1SS the dealer filled it with 87 octane, I've been using Premium since previous fill ups, do I have to worry about the fuel maps sticking with the low octane fuel or will my ECM learn the Premium fuel I've been using ?? Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, thanks ..

It should reset to the 91/93 octane map.

Dealers piss me off when they do things like this...I had an argument with my dealer/sales manager who I am friendly with for years when I bought my '18 Equinox with the 2.0T engine. The engine requires premium fuel, otherwise could knock and reduces power. He kept insisting that 87 was fine, that is all they fill their vehicles on the lot that have the 2.0T engines in them.
