Octanium® is a VP octane booster that can be used as a lead substitute. It gives gasoline an octane boost up to 8 numbers (80 points). We blend it for off-road racing applications. Furthermore, Octanium improves engine performance by eliminating knocking and pinging and it enhances throttle response and acceleration. Additionally, our octane booster cleans fuel injectors while knocking out gum and varnish buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Octanium® safe for O2 sensors and catalytic converters?
In a word, no. For vehicles equipped with oxygen sensors and catalytic converters, you should use our Octanium Unleaded octane booster at the recommended treat rate that ensures the safety of those emission control devices.

How long does Octanium® 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 of VP octane booster, Octanium, treats up to 10 gallons of gas and will boost octane 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 the VP Madditive Octanium 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.
