My car owners manual says that I can use regular unleaded fuel. Is it true that a car engines octane requirements can increase over time?
Yes, and Caltex Gold and Platinum with Techron have high octane that can maximise performance in cars with increased octane requirements. Over time, deposits can accumulate in your cars combustion chambers. These deposits can cause knocking or pinging, run-on or reduced performance, particularly if your car has driven over 25,000 kilometres. A high octane fuel can help you reduce or eliminate these problems (except the run-on). While some of these engines may be satisfied by the octane offered by our Silver grade, others may require the even higher octane of Caltex Gold and Platinum. If combustion chamber deposit build-up is affecting your car, Caltex Gold and Platinum with Techron can help restore its performance. The unique formulation of Techron minimises the contribution to combustion chamber deposits and can help limit your cars increase in appetite for octane.
