Beware of octane boosters, as many contain lead or lead-like substances which will damage the catalytic convertor and oxygen (Lambda) sensor..

Si,
Some do and others don't.
I've just got some Silkolene (spelling?) Pro Boost which says on the tin Cat friendly.
Just have to read the box I guess.

A lot are cat friendly these days as they wouldnt sell them otherwise but always read the small print . Pretty sure Steve told me NF is cat friendly and so is Millers Octane plus.

NF is cat friendly - OZ have very stringent rules on cats and any additivies by law have to be non damaging or reduce their efficiency.
Think that FAQ is very old now - has a lot of the basics but refers to older products.
