Default Millers CVL

Hi all
Running low on Millers octane plus and was wondering if there are any probs with going to Millers CVL? Is it worth the extra £25 for a case or should i stick to the octane plus?
I have a fully de catted system and will reset the ecu if i get the CVL.
Many thanks

Johnny

I could have sworn the place I bought my Millers Octane Plus from had Octane Plus and CVL at the same price per bottle. Maybe i should get the CVL next time as i'm decatted.
Is it totally necessary to reset the ECU for this?

It says on the bottles it can be used occasionally with catted vehicles. It has a higher octane rating than the octane plus (3points against 2) but the CVL turbo is higher again.

octane+ - gives you 2 full RON, 1 bottle treats 50ltrs (ideal to pull super/optimax/etc. upto 100RON)

CVL - gives up to 3 full RON, treats 20ltrs (aimed at trackday/competition use due to added benefit of valve lubricant to protect against valve seat recession)............marketed as a "valve lubricant" to comply with FIA and MSA fuel regulations that prohibit octane additives - can damage catalyst cars with prolonged use!!

CVL Turbo - gives upto 4 full RON, treats 20ltrs (aimed at the FIA 102RON 'turbo' fuels on the market that cost in excess of £3/ltr!!)........has added benefit of oxygenating the fuel which particuarly helps with rally cars which have to run "air restrictors", giving a cost effective improvement to those on a more modest rally budget.............

hope this is of some help,
