Are you having to top up your oil ?

I just bought the car couple of weeks ago and so far, no oil top up yet.
No, the car runs at normal temp and idling around 900RPM.
Good new, the knocking problem seem has disappeared, I can only hear it faithly if I was on higher gear and try to step on the acceleration.
This is what I have done:
1.Clean the Distributor cap (lots of dusk and buildup)
2.Run Injector cleaner
3.Run 95 Octane fuel.
and REV the crap out of the car for 5 min on the Freeway (after a week having the injector cleaner in the fuel).
Hope this is a permanent fix and would help others with similar problem.
After this tank, I will try to go back to the normal fuel ie: 91 Octane (in Aus) and see what happen.
