If you are burning any oil that will lower your ignition point of the fuel and cause knocking no matter what grade of fuel you use. It dont take much oil do cause this.

I wonder if the winter fuel mixture they make us use here could be the cause or the fact that I'm due for my 100,000 mi spark plugs and wire change ?
