scotty nm35 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 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...

SS8_Gohan Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/386659-e85eflex-and-oil-choice/page/13/#findComment-6727628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 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 You guys jumping the oil every 5000kms with ethanol fuels? Or even sooner? trackday or 5000 is still fine.
