Verylube Octane Booster is a fuel additive that raises the octane rating of petrol, so it burns more smoothly and gives the engine more power. You pour one bottle into the tank before you fill up. Verylube is XADO’s car care brand.

Many of the cars on our roads were built for a different fuel. Performance and turbocharged models from Japan and Europe are designed to run on high-octane premium petrol, which is the norm in the countries they were made for. Fill them with a lower-octane fuel and the engine notices at once.

Octane is a measure of how well petrol resists igniting too early. When the octane is too low for the engine, the fuel goes off before it should. You may hear it as a light metallic rattle, called pinking or knocking, when you accelerate or climb a hill. The engine’s computer reacts by holding back the power to protect itself, so the car feels flat and uses more fuel. Over time, heavy knocking can damage the engine.

This additive raises the octane rating of the petrol in your tank, so it burns when it should and as completely as it should. The knocking fades, the engine is free to deliver its full power, and the car accelerates the way its makers intended.

Why drivers choose it

It increases the octane rating of petrol. It improves the way the fuel burns. It increases engine power and acceleration. It helps prevent the knocking that low-octane fuel causes. And one bottle treats a full tank of up to 60 litres.
