I don't trust octane ratings from purchased fuel. In Korea, they could cheat you outright, and some stations have been caught with spiking fuel with various chemicals to increase profits (most industrial chemicals are much cheaper than fuel).
So I always run 50% toluene to insure octane is above 100.
But if it's something else, like a failed oil pump, well, even if the car is running 1000bhp that doesn't affect how the oil pump works. Then you've got a legitimate claim.

Im in germany,you can trust what you buy here,i only use Aral ultimate or Shell V-Power....running 100 octane on a 97 octane map doesn´t make things unsafe.......
My car did run totaly normal,even after it made that rattling noise,no bad idle,nothing,just loud,all 6 pistons where inspected by the Nissan HPC,no burnt/melted pistons,missing sparkplugs or other problems there,but a very few hairline scratches in the walls from running without lubrication...
