Hi all
I own a '91 Mazda 323. I stay in South Africa and at the start of this year, leaded (97 octane) gas came to an end.
There are two other types available: Lead Replacement Petrol (LRP, 95 octane) and Unleaded (93).
Unsure whether the valve seats were hardened or would wear away (and following a qualified car mechanic's advice) I've been using LRP in the car.
I've noticed the following: the car takes longer to warm up in the morning and generally doesn't go as well.
Can a 91 323 take LRP or am I currently damaging the valves? Should I be doing anything, like having the car serviced more regularly etc.?
Input would be much appreciated!
