I have heard that higher octane gas burns longer and slower than lower octane fuel. My concern is there may be a greater amount of gas residue remaining in the cylinders.

I noticed on the website that the European formulas will still be the old Syntec.

I drive a car with a 5.7 Hemi engine - The recommended fuel is midgrade 89 octane. I have noticed the car runs better if I use premium 91 octane fuel. My question - Is there a greater risk of fuel dillution to my 5w-20 oil running 91 vs 89 octane gas. I usually use Castrol Syntec 5w-20.

My question is about temperature not performance.

Just curious - Does 91 octane gas create a hotter explosion than 87 octane? All input is appreciated.

Bosch are excellent oil filters - they are the same as a Purolator Pure One. I use them with synthetic oil on a 5.7 Hemi V8 - oil changes done every 8 months - never had a problem.

Great oil filter made by Purolator - My Hemi loves em.

Anybody know? The search function on this site is not the greatest - I know this has been asked before, I just cant find it.

1. Maybe the crankcase is over filled. 2. Maybe its not the correct dip stick.

Castrol Edge is one of the thinnest 5w-30s I have seen.
