A few nasty intake valve pics are now showing up on nasioc as well. One guy has already done walnut shell blasting like they do on intake valve deposit prone BMW's and Audi's. "Hello, Toyota? This is Fuji Heavy. Can we discuss using your D4S technology again, please?" Back on topic. Nice job Steve! |

So is OEM oil but at earlier intervals okay with E85? Am I understanding this correctly?

3rd consecutive UOA for TGMO 0W20 SN GF5 - 7047kms on oil E85 use only ! I'm stoked & satisfied the oil can easily go the distance, new oil/oil filter/air filter installed (all genuine parts) after this analysis was done so a further 3 more UOA to come to prove the point. Enjoy !
ps: I dumped & inspected the oil myself (have kept a small sample - have the Fumoto valve so was a cinch) & even waited for it to cool down - it looks great, has a dark golden colour & smells like oil should - awesome ! |

I take that as a big compliment - thank you
ps: I will be installing the OEM oil warmer/cooler exactly as per factory setup off the FXT/WRX just as in @CARNZ thread - this should have a positive impact on the oil longevity. |

Motul oil
What are yalls thoughts on the motul 8100 eco lite 0w 20? As i have been using this oil since i got the car would it be safe for me to keep using it or should i change? And if i keep using it will i need to change the intervals or no? Car has stock internals just exhaust, intake, pulleys

They might have re-formulated the oil to meet the SN specs? I don't know, best to check the bottles. I'd stick with an SN oil for E85 but also change out more frequently, just to be on the safe side. |

Very interesting question - especially as I'll be adding a flexfuel kit in January!! I wonder what the tuners have to say? (Went through the thread looking for someone like @CSGMike or @DeliciousTuning but didn't see their advice... I did get bored half way through so apologies if you guys have already answered)!

If you NA and not actually racing and you tune is not running overly rich you should not have oil dilution issues running E85 Pick a known brand of oil Make sure is SN or GF5 rated this ensures its ethanol E85 compatable Or make sure the manufacturer specificly states its E85 compatble http://www.pqiamerica.com/apiserviceclass.htm Full synthetic ( not synthetic blend) cold climate 0W20 warmer climates 0W30 or 5W30 |

UOA for TGMO 0W20 SN-GF5
Following on from previous UOA & VOA done, here is another & most likely the last as it is getting quite boring - like nothing has really changed.
UOA for TGMO 0W20 SN/GF5 - 5175kms on oil, E85 use only. The elevated Copper count I would say is because of the newly installed OEM oil cooler which got completed 3 weeks earlier before this sample was taken. @bluesubie - the elevated Silicon levels are starting to annoy me as new air filters are have no resolve. Would you say this is an acceptable count for Silicone or should I look to dumping the OEM filter & use something else like K&N ? Would appreciate your thoughts. Cheers |

Why not change the filter anyway?
Mine cost me around $53, so it's not a huge expense and their washable/re-usable.

Not cos of cost, Ive read that aftermarket filters like a K&N wouldn't filter as well as a good paper filter & that's why you get more airflow. Having said that I hate the design of the stock air box as it's difficult to get the air filter in the right spot & 100% located & if you don't you risk damaging the ends & possibly not get a proper seal thus allowing sh1t to flow through
