Big Kev is right as rain. And this topic is old news, "exhausted."
Tens of millions of cars in the eastern and midwestern US ran just fine hundreds of millions of miles for half a century on Amoco gasoline, which was always unleaded.
For belt and suspenders, use Red Line Lead Substitute, if concerned, which uses benign sodium as the dissimilar metal protecting from the nanosecond micro weld of valve upon seat. Potassium was tried in Europe, but leaves deposits, as did tetraethyl lead, vile ones, if you've ever examined the thick, deep, toxic goop on the bottom of the oilpan of an old original, never overhauled engine.
Lead causes brain damage in children, senility in adults. Children in schools near busy highways and streets tested lower academically than those afar. Someone adopting the appellation "Doc" might appreciate this.
Interesting priorities in some alleged "car guys." Sometimes it's good to venture out of the garage, see beyond our own hood ornaments.
Marvel Mystery Oil is a good product, protects valve stems and the upper wear zone of engines, including piston rings, but has no effect one way or the other on valve seats.
