E85 specific oil - Page 7 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

RavioliG · 10-18-2014, 04:06 PM

I've been using this stuff for the past 10,000 miles on e85. I find it easily at my local Walmart, and I change it with intervals of ~4,000 miles.

Anyone have any experience with it? Or recommendations for my next oil change?
I wasn't before, but now I'm starting to get concerned after reading this thread.

1st of many to come to confirm oil status with E85:

Vehicle = tuned for E85, Perrin cbe, mechanically stock otherwise
ODO = 27,252kms
KMS on Oil = 4762kms - E85 only
NB: Winter temps

Oil= Castrol Edge Pro 0W20 SM/GF4 !
Air Filter = Stock Toyota/Subaru

Looks great! What oil is this? I don't see it listed or maybe I'm just blind. Are you running the stock air filter?

@bluesubie did you see I posted another uoa since the last time we talked about this?

Missed that. It looks great too! Not much to comment on.

Interesting that moly is so low in a race oil. I guess Amsoil's friction modifier doesn't show up in a uoa.

Maximum Horsepower
The excessive friction and heat of racing robs engines of power and longevity. DOMINATOR is formulated with a proprietary friction modifier for maximum horsepower and cooler engine temperatures, promoting improved lap times and longer-lasting components.

The mileage is also wrong in the report. It's almost 5k on the second sample. Pretty excited I can get over 5k on e85 with a race oil daily driving it. Oil temps are also very low. I don't use an oil cooler in the south.

Reaper · 10-20-2014, 12:14 PM

I have no idea what the deal is with that. I should call amsoil.

Sorry, have updated above post. I cut & pasted this from the Aussie GT86 forums & forgot to attach the all important info :/

Not sure why the elevated silicon figure, these cars do get very dusty under hood compared to others. Will have to check filter & see what's going on.

ZZT86 · 10-21-2014, 01:18 AM

OK it appears the air filter isn't locating/closing correctly. Any one else seen this ?

I have a 5q jug of motul 8100 5w30 eco-nergy and it's ACEA A5/B5 API SL/CF

Any concerns using it now that I'm running only e85 and the oil isn't GF5/SN? Should I try to sell the oil to a friend? Here is the 8100's tech sheet: https://m.motul.com/system/product_d...pdf?1350664219

Reaper · 12-21-2014, 05:45 PM

It's ok just don't run it more than 3,000 miles

Yes, no concerns at all. It's API SL with slightly higher levels of ZDDP than SM/SN, and is a light 30 grade at 10.0 cSt's at 100C.

kiichiro · 12-22-2014, 10:57 AM

I've run about 100 tanks of e85
change your oil every 3000 miles

fuel dilution and cylinder scoring go hand in hand
I ran Sustina in stock weight, and mixed in Ceratec

I gave the community pentosin, FTW, this is another boon for you all
