Default Put in a few gallons of e-85 by mistake

Hi All,

Asking a question for a family member with a 991.1 Turbo S. Mistakenly put a few gallons of e-85 "flex fuel" into the tank. The car is showing an engine light but says "can continue to drive" or something similar. The dealer says it's ok to drive at low rpm. I have filled the remaining 3/4 tank with 93 octane and driven it about 20 miles. The light is still on, however. Can someone tell me if there is a reset or how long the car needs to re-calibrate for the correct octane?

Feel free to give me a call and I can help you go over it. There are a few simple ways to sort it out.
