Yes. It is generally a myth that midgrade or premium fuels improve engine performance. It is true that certain high performance engines require a higher octane fuel. this, however, is typically in the realm of racing engines that use 104 octane or better. Higher octane fuels generally just produce more pollutants, and cost more. the higher octane actually burns hotter, and therefore can cause greater wear on the engine. Most cars do just fine on 87 - 90 octane fuels (the octane range for regular unleaded fuels).

Where is the starter on 1996 Cadillac deville?

There are two engines types for the 1996 Cadillac Deville. The 4.9 L and the 4.6 L Northstar. The 4.9 L engine's starter is accessible from under the car like most cars. The 4.6 L Northstar however, hides the starter underneath the intake manifold. I just recently changed mine. It took about 8 hours for the entire job. I think it would have been 6 if I was mechanically inclined.
