Hey guy,
So pretty much everyone i have asked, has said something different. Is there any specific type of oil for an e85 tune? I heard a car tuned to e85 create moisture in the oil, which make for more often oil changes, but my problem is, i don't want to run to thin on start up and its as thin as water...

Mods list for motor, not sure if needed but will provide anyway.

1.6L from NB6
Wiseco pistons 79mm +1mm
Pauter rods
ACL race bearings
ARP rod bolts
ARP main cap bolts
ARP head studs
Toda 256deg 9mm lift
Solid lifters
Maruha sump baffle
Maruha 2mm head gasket
Garret 2871r 0.86 Tial v band
Tial 38mm External wastegate
ID1000's
Walbro 255lph
M-tuned fuel rail
LS2 coils


If anyone has any sort of idea, please post, if you need anymore info let me know. Thanks guys

Ive always just run any good old synthetic.

never had an issue yet nor has anyone said anything different..?

10-40 for a new motor I always run Nulon 15w50 street/track in mine though.
