SS8_Gohan Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Eflex has that stupid price cycle just like other fuels, approx 10cent difference depending on day of the week, at the moment, 1.10 to 1.20 sounds about right.

Piggaz Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 OK. SO I have been using 300V on my E85 fueled GTR for the past 15 or so months. I had a oil pump failure which practically destroyed the head, however the bottom end survived (A quick polish of the crank and its good to go). After pulling the engine down last weekend some of the big end bearings STILL looked like they had just come out of the boxes. I will take some photo's when I get the chance. I would have loved to pull it down before the shitty pump failure. That engine was 7 years old with 32,000 Kms on it most of its life up around 400 RWKW with upto 2 bar shoved down its throat. However it wasn't revved past 8000 RPM all that much (But was driven hard). It also didnt breathe any oil into my catchcan. After seeing that and hearing all these stories ranging from 'Your engine is going to die within 200 kms' to 'the oil will turn to jelly if left longer than a day in the sump', I won't be changing after its rebuilt! 300 V FTW!

ARTZ Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 You should post this in the oil thread, guys seem to think how their car "feels" when they drive it is a better metric than oil analysis when comparing oils. your fulla shit Rolls, nobody said it was a better than an oil analysis..all that was said is that some of us could notice a difference in the way the car drove with different types of oil.. Anyway, haven't you got a broken camshaft to fix Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/386659-e85eflex-and-oil-choice/page/8/#findComment-6260810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
