Octane Booster – VP Octanium®

Octanium® gas octane booster increases octane up to 8 numbers (80 points). We blend it for off-road racing applications and it can be used as a lead substitute. Furthermore, Octanium improves engine performance by eliminating knocking and pinging and it also enhances throttle response and acceleration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use VP racing gas octane booster with O2 sensors and catalytic converters?
In a word, no. Octanium is not suited for vehicles equipped with oxygen sensors and catalytic converters. We suggest that you use VP Octanium Unleaded octane booster at the recommended treat rate. Doing so ensures the safety of those emission control devices.

How long does it last in its original packaging?
An unopened can of Octanium will last up to five years.

How many numbers will Octanium® boost my octane?
One quart treats up to 10 gallons and increase octane in gas by up to eight numbers. Another key point is that it improves throttle response and acceleration while eliminating knocks and pings. Comparatively, if you treat 20 gallons of gas with one quart of Octanium, your octane can increase by up to 4 numbers.

Is it safe to use in a two stroke engine? Specifically a snowmobile engine? It’s a Polaris 850 Patriot. I only have access to 90 and 88 octane unleaded gas and the manufacturer recommends minimum 91 octane
Octanium is safe for use in both 2-cycle & 4-cycle applications. The exact dosage will depend on whether or not your application has emission control devices (ECDs). If it does have ECDs, you'll want to use Octanium Unleaded.
