It is not good for the engine if it is the original setup from the 1970's. Lead is needed for lubrication to the valves. A reconditioned engine can use unleaded fuel if the intake and exhaust valves and the seats are replaced.

Does a 1988 Cadillac DeVille have a northstar engine?

No it does not. The only engine in the 1988 Cadillac De Ville was the 4.5 Digital fuel injected engine. The 4.5 engine is a 2 valve per cylinder overhead valve (not overhead cam) engine. It was a good engine but not in the power category as the Northstar.


Will my 1981 Porsche 924 run on unleaded fuel built for UK market?

Yes, your 1981 Porsche 924 can run on unleaded fuel, as the model was designed to accommodate both leaded and unleaded fuels. However, it's important to ensure that the engine's components, particularly the valves, are in good condition to handle unleaded fuel, as the absence of lead can lead to increased wear. If your vehicle has been regularly maintained and free from leaded fuel for some time, it should perform well on unleaded fuel available in the UK. Always consult your owner's manual or a professional mechanic for specific recommendations.

Can you put 2stroke fuel in an unleaded engine?

NO !! 2 stroke fuel is gas and oil mixed. unless you took it out of a oil injected 2 stroke with i doubt. a 4 stoke engine (car) doesnt need any oil in the gas. (NOT GOOD) you can put 2stroke fuel in an unleaded engine the 2 stroke has oil added to it but will still burn off.most people put 2 stroke in by accident or in an emergency when none other is available,such as running out of fuel.the amount added would be minimal and would be so diluted it will do NO damage to your engine. the GAS used in 2 stroke is same as any other gas , just has small amount of oil added
