doesn't leaded gas also kill your O2 sensors?

Gator Al (Al) 11-17-2006 10:32 AM

My understanding is yes.
 
If you run leaded for too long, you will foul the O2 sensors(?), but it takes a while.

yup... no problem whatsoever

Gator Al (Al) 11-17-2006 10:34 AM

Not immediately.
 
A friend has been running leaded in his dragster Rabbit for a while now, sensors still OK.

I was told that the old school O2 sensors yes, but not so much the new O2 sensors.
 
However i would not recommend to run leaded as a day to day gas, the o2s will die eventually.

No. It kills your cats.

i thought leaded gas could mess up your injectors too?
 
one of my good buddies(who is a car expert) told me they destroy cats, and could mess up your o2's and your fuel injectors, after i was going to fill up with some 110 leaded at the track but then decided not to.

it just sucks that the highest unleaded octane is like 104 :(
