Didn't say it did, but it could hide other issues. The manual states
to use 87, so use 87. All these fantasies about 'cleaner' burning,
'better' burning, etc.. Who came up with all this ? The ONLY reason to
use higher octane is for higher compression cars and/or cars with
superchargers/turbo's to prevent detonation/pinging.
Use 87.
