It can NEVER hurt to use fuel of a higher octane than the minimum recommended, whereas using a lower octane can cause catastrophic engine failure.

We expect an engine like the one you purchased to be traded in. For instance, you cannot trade in a 1.9-liter waterboxer core and purchase a 2.1-liter engine and expect the entire $1500 core deposit back. We deduct the following amounts from the core charge refund: Engine cases: $750, or part thereof for repairs as needed. Head studs: $50 per stud to a maximum of $750. Crankshaft: $250. Rods: $50\/each (and so on with each component). So, for example, if your engine cases are no good (i.e.: too badly pitted), but the rest of the parts are OK, you will receive a refund of $250. If everything is in good shape, except all head studs have to be replaced, you will get $250 back. Or, if you send in no core at all, you will forfeit your entire $1500 core deposit. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gowesty.com\/pages\/engine-core-return-sheet\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRead our Core Return Worksheet.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease read the following article:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gowesty.com\/blogs\/article-library\/engine-core-charge-a-necessary-evil?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=788ca4a5d\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEngine Core Charge: A Necessary Evil\u003c\/a\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWarranty \u0026amp; Cancellation\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 48 month, 48,000 mile (whichever comes first) written warranty at no charge.
