The Castrol 0W40 A3/B4 handles the test a lot better. I'm not an expert at all, but I would have though 400 degrees would decompose the oil straight away.

I am a fan of my motul 300v Chrono. Not LL approved though, so need to change very 5000km.

alik01 has discussed this with Motul before we all decided the switch. Anyway, both of my posts are OT. Sorry.

I have used 300V for around 8 years in all my race / road cars and bikes and will not change. 300V IS NOT LL01 so you must change the oil every 5,000km for a road car and after every second track day Motul 300V is not 8100 NOTE - DO NOT USE 300V WITH E85 Last edited by Kiwi Peter; 05-18-2013 at 01:56 AM.. |

The local autobarn carries royal purple 5w30, was thinking of giving it go...is it worth the $10 extra over the 300v? |

I have heard that E85 is brutal on oil as it dilutes the oil and the ester base is no good for E85 (generally speaking these ester base oils are considered to be a premium grade oil in normal applications with superior shear properties) I recall the jdm guys were using a heavier grade (i.e 10W60 in applications which call for 5W30) to counteract this dilution effect associated with running E85. Also I'm sure your mobil 1 will be fine, it may just require dumping sooner if running E85. |

E85 finds its way into the oil and will break it down super quick, we had a Nissan GTR with a dry sump system running E85 you could smell the E85 in the oil at the oil tank, it would burn your eyes and this is after only 2hours running. |

few BITOG/evom/SAU etc. threads have done a ton of UOA's on oil that's been used with E85 for 9-10kkm and haven't found any further breakdown/loss in viscosity etc. of just about any brand/weight high quality synth oil - a lot of TALK about needing special oils from the last few years. you'll have your oil smelling like whatever fuel you use anyway? |
