Mil light came on today, stays on, not flashing, car drives / boosts fine. Only thing is I'm 500km from home and need to drive home with the family on Saturday. Do you think I will be ok to make the drive before I get it looked at? Car is a 2010 FG G6ET no mods only just out of warranty. I don't want to go to some small town mechanic or dealer and get ripped off id rather get home (sydney) and take it somewhere I know... Any thoughts?

P.s I run BP ultimate usually but the best I could get here was shell 95 so put half a tank in yesterday to get me around town and back to the BP at port could this have something to do with it?

Im no expert but I'm pretty sure that as long as your oil and coolant levels are good and the oil and coolant are not milky (ie oil in your water or water in your oil) and the car starts and runs normally you have very little to worry about. Have a good look and the fuel rail and injectors for leaks etc and you "should" be ok.

I'm no expert though. ......

No milkshake or leaks to be seen, I reset ecu (disconnect batt for about 30 min) and the light has gone. Will let you know if it comes back, I'm thinking the shell fuel has something to do with it...

The mil light will come on if 1 of over 20 different things have a fault, is it tuned ?

Stock only ever serviced at fraud ecu reset seems to have cleared it could the change from bp 98 to shell 95 have set it off and made it need a reset?

I regularly change between 98 and 95 never had a issue with my 2010 g6et.

It's a emission problem... My bet O2 sensor... As long as it's not flashing that's the main thing...

FG Mk 2 and after 1 year O2 sensor went

My first thought was O2 sensor, it has not come back since reset, will see how it goes on the drive home tomorrow...

So made it home, fresh tank of ultimate and light has not come back, 9.9L per 100 towing a loaded up box trailer and 5 people in the car I'm happy with that!

Light came back on yesterday, no change of fuels this time, due for a service soon, will get it fixed in a week or 2 and let you know what it was....
