i am getting the eurpeon version, i believe my 335 manual says MIN 91 octane, but 95 is recommended.

the 89 here scares the sh*t out of me.
i am sure my car will run, but i want it to run FAST!

I think you should make a separate thread about it. It will get more attention.

i live in ecuador, so finding lucas ucl or even marvel mystery oil would be very difficult. any "generic" type of stuff i can find here and use instead?

also, putting these "lubricants" into my gas tank on a semi regular basis is o.k. for my motor and it's fuel delivery system?

thanks.
