Octane additives or Torco affecting life of motor oil?

[01cobravortech]

So I'm thinking...octane booster additives and Torco show up in the UOAs. So do they affect the life of high quality oils like Amsoil or Royal Purple? Do they degrade the oil's detergents or anti-wear aspects? Any negatives of having this mix in your oil?

Torco does effect one thing I'm sure off, spark plug life, it'll put a reddish film on the electrode and ceramic so change intervals will be shorter.... As far as oil I wonder if any regular users sent a sample of oil to be tested...

It will not effect an engine lubricant. However, you will see elevated ppm of manganese in the UOA.
