is it really an issue for those that clock up a fair few kays quickly or those that change the oil way more often than required?

Dion Said to me cause I change my oil EVERY 5000kms its not an issue.....I run a full synth 10w-50...he says its more short starts and stops when the motors doesnt have enough time to build up heat to evaporate the condensation which forms in the sump, once the engine is hot enough the water residue just boils away.....so my opinion regard less change oil often 5000 km or less, under close examination of my oil coming out of the sump nice and hot was golden/brown in colour no sign of contaminaton but....there was an overwhelming smell of Ethanol in the oil itself but Dion said its all good...hope that helps guys

Ran my ute up on the dyno today for a rough comparison to see how united e85 would differ from drum E85 using my (Cheetah race fuel E85 tune).

Well I actually found it runs richer using United pump...and it made less power in the mid and top end.

Cheetah Race E85 - AFR starts from 12.0 - 11.5 up top

United Pump E85 - AFR starts from 11.2 - 10.4 up top(very rich)

Power wise....United made less power (10rwkw) across the board from the start of the run and was losing alot more near the end of the run... will be looking into this.

I have done this just to see if I can use United pump for cruising as its a daily vehicle...

So this is just a lil bit of a snapshot for you guys.

Cheers.

only a 10kw difference?

fk id sacrifice that to use united e85, better than stuffing around with buying cheetah race fuel.
