AMSOIL Octane Boost
Improves the performance
of all two-cycle and four-cycle gasoline-fueled engines.
Just one treatment significantly increases engine response
and power. AMSOIL Octane Boost reduces engine knock,
improves ignition, helps fuel burn cleaner and inhibits
corrosion. Recommended for all high performance off-road
and racing applications. Increases octane number by
up to 7 points.

Performance Features
- Improves performance
- Maximizes power
- Improves ignition
- Helps fuel burn cleaner
- Removes carbon deposits
- Reduces engine knock
- Improves responsiveness
- Inhibits corrosion
We used the Octane Boost in
conjunction with 93-octane pump gasoline. Compared to
standard pump gas, the Octane Boost enriched gasoline
allowed us to get a better drive out of a comer and increase
top speed in a straightaway. Our motorcycle engines ran
cleaner, as noticed by other competitors. We only had
to change spark plugs once this year, as compared to two
or three times in past years due to carbon buildup.

A New Use for an Old Favorite
– AMSOIL Series 2000 Octane Boost Doubles as a Lead
Substitute
AMSOIL Series 2000 Octane Boost has
long been the product of choice for those who are looking
to improve the performance of two-cycle and four-cycle gasoline-fueled
engines. And now there is another great reason to install
it in older gasoline-fueled automobiles. AMSOIL Octane Boost
has just been approved for use in those engines requiring
a leaded fuel or a lead substitute.
When Tetraethyl lead (TEL) was
eliminated as a motor fuel additive in the United States,
the need to replace some of its performance features, especially
to protect older vehicles, was hotly debated in the oil and
auto industries. Prior to the elimination of TEL in January
2000, a test protocol was developed by the Federation of British
Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) to evaluate the effectiveness
of lead substitutes in protecting older vehicles against valve
seat recession (VSR). The test protocol was developed for
the United Kingdom because the population of older vehicles
with “soft” valve seats is much greater there
than in the United States. Driving speeds, which tend to be
higher in the U.K., were also a reason the protocol was developed.
When the temperature within
an engine increases as a result of high speeds or loads, a
phenomenon known as “micro-welding” can occur.
This condition is especially prevalent in older engines.
VSR occurs when two surfaces
(for example: the exhaust valve seat and the valve head) make
contact and the temperatures of the surfaces are significantly
elevated. Eventually, the metal surfaces will micro-weld together.
When the mechanical action of the camshaft separates the two
metal surfaces, the softer metal (the valve seat in this example)
is eroded. The ultimate result is a loss of cylinder compression
and eventual engine failure.
Tetraethyl lead effectively
prevented valve seat recession because the lead oxide that
formed during the compression process served as a high temperature
lubricant, preventing the potential destructive metal-to-metal
contact between the valve and its seat. More recently, octane
booster MMT has been found to play a similar role. AMSOIL
has used this technology in this area to provide formulations
capable of protecting older vehicles against valve seat recession.
Using AMSOIL Octane Boost at its current recommended treatment
mixture will not only raise the fuel’s octane value,
but will also provide the lead substitute benefits.
What type of vehicles will benefit
from having a lead substitute added to the fuel mixture? Older
car and truck engines, especially those used as collector
automobiles, may require a lead substitute to prevent valve
seat recession. In addition, there are many models of older
off-road equipment such as dump trucks, tractors and tow vehicles
that will benefit from a lead substitute.
Older four cycle marine engines
found on many large pleasure craft boats will also benefit
from this added protection. For example, older Chris Craft
boats are prime candidates for an AMSOIL Octane Boost treatment.
These types of boats are typically in service for many years,
due to the low amount of miles and hours of usage accumulated
per year and the high value of the overall unit.
Older models of motor homes
are also pleasure vehicles that may see low mileage usage
for only part of each year. The high replacement cost of these
units and their parts are another great incentive to try AMSOIL
Octane Boost for its lead substitute benefits.
