What's the difference between castrol valvemaster plus and the normal one? Does it make the car run better? Would I have to use the unleaded octane fuel?

the valve master plus I think is an octane booster as well as lead additive, I use it in mine and it theoretically would be like running with the higher octane fuel but whether it has much effect who knows, although it helped when mine was pinking a little so i think it does :)

So it's worth a try? Not for any specific reason just wondered what benefits or had over the standard one

well if you are using a lead additive then might as well use one that might make the engine run slightly better, and theres no real reason why not to other than your wallet
