    Dunk,
    I searched a lot on this subject just before leaded was discontinued
    here
    (Iran) for our 504
    Valve seats on aluminium heads are hardened (steel) and don't have
    problems
    with unleaded. And her last 2 years, 30'000 - 40000 km.s or so (don't
    remember exactly, maybe more) were on unleaded, without any lead
    replacement
    additive. (BTW no pinging, but runs better on super unleaded!)
    If you have octane / pinging issues, that's a different matter.
    MTBE reduces milage :(

    Regards,
    Ahmad
