@ Silverz You're really showing you lack of knowledge comparing checking oil to datalogging and calling it a "datalogger". You are quite abnormal
Bottom line is you're taking a performance hit and adding wear to your engine and not listening to the vast majority of people who had this car longer than you. As an avid tune user with some tweaks made to my OFT tunes, I can tell you, the only way to correctly observe knock on a modern car is definitely not by ear or feel, the fact you think you can hear it proves your stupidity. You would have to datalog and watch the ignition advance modifier (IAM), Fine learning knock control (FLKC), and feed back knock control (FBKC). To get an accurate read on anything, a knock sensor is literally mounted to the engine block and is a microphone way more accurate than a human.
A long time ago a user like you called "CatScan" posted a similiar thread and I went through and posted full datalogs of my car testing it on 87, 89, 91 and 93 and posted the logs on datazap.me. I consistently had IAMs below 1 that would run from .7 back up to 1 after each fill up as the car learned at the stock tune and on 87 it stayed around .89-1 depending on how I drove. This proved the car was knocking. How? Because it has to detect the knock before it can adjust, subjecting your engine to knock BEFORE it can adjust is not something you want to do repeatedly. Especially when it keeps knocking and you're not making proper MPG or power.
Also the oil check idea is ridiculous and not a valid comparison and makes you seem like a troll. You realize oil can burn slowly without losing it right? and on this car specifically people have had oil leaks that don't puddle on the ground like the cam seal leak on manuals correct? I sincerely hope you spend your money on something less costly than a sports car if you can't be bothered to check maintenance items like that or to fill up on 91 or higher.
You lack the knowledge to make a good judgement about your vehicle's technology therefore stick to the manual and stop complaining on a forum when others tell you not to do something or suggest that doing something is bad. Otherwise stick to the 87 octane and stop trying to justify it to everyone else. |
