I am the dealer part desks number 1 customer the last few months.No, I usually use Costco, but 7/11 was the only place open at 3am. It did stop as soon as I stopped pumping gas. Just a weird deal. No tune, and the pinging I hear on occasion is VERY light, it’s similar to what I’ve heard on other vehicles running slightly lower octane. Pinging goes away completely with the octane booster - the real stuff that’s like $20 a can. Idle issue remains however.Good to know about the plugs. I went back with OEM, but may pull and re gap, just to say I’ve tried it. Short of a computer issue or a fuel pump issue, I’m not sure what the idle issue could be, but maybe that will help, may help with the oil on the lower plugs as well.I am still getting great mileage and power, no other issues period other than the idle fluctuation. I am trying to just live with it, but if you couldn’t tell, I’m a little bit obsessive over my vehicle and try to be proactive. I’m about $3000 into replacing stuff under the hood, which sucks, but also, she’s all but had a mild rebuild at this point! I did the water pump, thermostat, tensioner pulleys and other stuff today as well. Next will be the AC compressor and power steering pump. I figure it’s better to buy this stuff now than wait til the ford back stock starts drying up. I have a C5 vette that even though it has an LS1 that was in tens of millions of vehicles, factory parts are starting to get used to find. Had to pay $750 for a new old stock alternator.</blockquote>
