100ll

So would it hurt my car if i added a little 100 low lead fuel to my tank with my gas? I know the older muscle cars can use it...but they have cast iron engines...but i dont know what it would do to ours...

Don't do it.


You need to tune in order to get the benefits of higher octane anyways.

I believe it is bad for your cat and the environment.

I am curious what kind of advantage you think you will gain from adding "a little 100 low lead fuel to my tank with my gas"? Why? and where did you find that information?

Do you have a catless dp and a tune?

It clogs up the cat, and damages O2 sensors. Dont' do it.

The 100LL stuff seems to be fairly hard on O2 sensors from my experience, buddy of mine ran C16 all the time, never had a problem. Another guy ran 100LL once in a while, was fouling O2's on a monthly basis.
