When I get home will find it ASAP. Yamaha also saying there is no oil that is Ethanol compliant and breaks down to quickly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 14y 26d Posted 16/01/13 09:11 AM Share Posted 16/01/13 09:11 AM As far as I understand, there are now "ethanol approved" oils. In regards to cars having this issue, would only have to take a leaf out of a methanol car. They run much richer afrs than any other fuel. Keen to see what kind of bore damage they sustain? Methanol is also much much more corrosive than ethanol. It is where I believe some of the fear has come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 17y 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 16/01/13 09:45 AM Share Posted 16/01/13 09:45 AM I've also read the higher the zinc content in the oil the more suited it is to ethanol.
