So, if you were to fill up with 87 oct. and reset the ECU, would it correct the timing for lower octane? Maybe remove the knock, but i think knocking has to do with high octane having a lower knock index or something i heard?

ECU Reset from G37 Technical Manual
I downloaded the G37 Technical Manual last year, as this is how you reset the ECU. I have tried several times as well, just comes down to getting your timing correct. Hope this helps

Did it the sure way
I did it the sure way and dissconnected the battery, I ran into one problem though, my windows would fall all the way down when the door was opened. I learned how to reset them and now everything works perfectly and I hope it will adapt rightly to my bolt ons. If anyone runs into the window problem and needs help let me know, thanks

That might not always be true. A Check Engine Light is always the result of a problem but a Service Engine Soon light could be it's time for some kind of regular maintenance or an engine problem, depends on the car. I can't remember which car it was, but one of my previous cars had both a CEL and SES. The SES was what came on when I needed an oil change.
