I put some prestone octane booster in my car yesterday and filled up the tank with 93 octane premium gas. Well today after driving around for awhile i notice the service engine soon light is on. Will octane booster cause that light to come on? or could it be something else?
BTW-ignore my sig, my car is all stock......i have the mods listed in mods part, but will install them tomorrow probably.

i think i should start first off by saying you are wasting your money on that octane booster if you are already using 93 octane gasoline.... especially so for a stock car.

and the answer to your question is...impossible. octane booster wont do anything for your car good or bad unless you are using a low grade fuel and about 10 cans of octane booster.

Some of them can have adverse effects on fuel lines and o rings over time, but if you dont use it on a regular basis I dought is caused your problem. Get it scanned.
