[QUOTE="Vnmous1_04, post: 11402371, member: 50878"] This is what I found out: A couple guys sent their oil to get tested at 2, 3, 4, 5 and even 7k intervals and the results were that all wear was normal...these were on cars that were driven regularly and harsh driving conditions (Road Racing) Wear and tear numbers were fine as well as the TBN in the oil. *Castrol's TBN at 7k was lower than usual but who changes their oil at 7k miles (Not me anyways) Oils used were Mobil, Motul and Castrol. A couple of others tested the Amsoil Dominator Racing Oil and said they prefer it over the others I mentioned but I didn't see their test results but this oil is meant for alcohol and meth applications! Amsoil Rep said 10W-30 is good due to the thinning! *Another thing to do is avoid the oil going back in to the engine via PVC...so it's highly recommended to have a oil seperator and disposing of it regularly. But judging from the results I'm not worried about running E85 as I change my oil every 3k miles so the oil should have more than enough protection left! :rockon: I would say as long as you do a regular oil change of the brand of your preference along with oil separators you'll most likely be in good shape...I will be tuning on e85 and will conduct my own test in my eaton cobra at 3k miles with my oil of preference and post up results so it might take a while lol but I'll do it for my fellow SVTP members! :beer: [/QUOTE]
