E85/eflex And Oil Choice

[scotty nm35]

Ethanol completely evaporates at 70 degrees though. I can't see it would be an issue as long as you don't drain the catch can back to the sump...

thread bump

any updates with peoples oil choice and e85 now that more and more people are using ethanol fuels?

[abr33]

Anyone using redline with ethanol? Its rated to handle up to e85 now

[SS8_Gohan]

have done some UOA's with the 10w60 Edge, nothing out of the ordinary to report - got another batch ready to send off.

as long as you find an oil that meets the current specs (mentioned a few pages back) i can't see there really being a problem

valvoline racing formula 50

[SiR_RB]

As of next week il be running eflex and il be using motul 6100 15/50

Il keep an eye on it and report back over time

anyone use the Penrite HPR range? if so, any reviews?

they are E85 compatible.

[dori33]

thats what i use hpr 20w60 ... abused at the track. and motor hasn't blown up yet lol . I drop it after every event though

[boostn0199]

Its bullshit how penrite has up'd the prices on the hpr range now it used to be good at around 30-35 a bottle now its closer to 50.

[R33 Sleeper]

i use penrite 10/10ths racing oil, mine is pretty much a daily on e flex with plenty of short trips probably without the car reaching norm operating temp, just dropped the oil for the first time since been on eflex and looks fine

[methz]

yeh hpr is becomming a joke for price, nearly go motul for same price.

[copycutter]

[boostn0199]

Yeah i was going to change from motul 4100 to hpr since i change everymonth and now no point.

[SiR_RB]

You guys jumping the oil every 5000kms with ethanol fuels? Or even sooner?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

You running e85 in the evo now Hamish?

nah, I was referring to using it with pulp.

When I upgrade to an Evo9 I'll run e85 again as the 7's dont have a good track record with it

trackday or 5000 is still fine.

yeas was using the 10/50..yeah its ethanol compatible about 40$ a bottle last time i bought it..switch to castrol for track duties..

[copycutter]

I should be dumping out my Castrol Edge 10w60 this weekend after over 5000kms / 6 months on e85 so I'll see how it looks. Daily driven too.

Probably put the same oil back in again.

Any chance of an oil analysis being done?
