Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows the cheapest place for Motul 6100?

I'm currently running Royal Purple, but since converting to E85 figured I'd use cheaper stuff and just increase the change interval.

Thanks.

You should be using oils that are e85 compatible, otherwise the ethanol can dilute your oil and thin it out.

Only one that I know is e85 compatible is Penrite 10 Tenths range. Im sure Royal purple would have something suitable as well but I havent really had a good look around. Atm I'm using the Penrite stuff in mine :)

Yeah that why I was going to increase the interval. I'm pretty sure I read on another thread that a Motul said 6100 was ok (at first reps were saying none of their products were, especially 300v)

RP guarantee compatibility. Maybe I'll just downgrade from XPR to their normal stuff. I'll also look into Penrite.

Thanks guys

So is that Racing 10w40 or do you go 15w50 to allow for some dilution/age of car?

As Steve said, don't under estimate the Nulon range...they do a 6 litre bottle as well.

As far as E85 friendly oils go, it really depends on how tired your engine is.

If you have a tight motor with negligent blow-by, it's not an issue....however, if you do get a lot of blow-by, no oil is safe against E85.....or against any other fuel for that matter.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
