Got an '18 2.7 on full E85 (~400hp, 500tq) currently running 5w-30 PP and wanting to make a switch as the fuel dilution is just brutal on these ecos from the start, and with the extra fuel being diluted in from the E85 which is tuned conservatively rich my oil changes tend to reak of ethanol and be on the thin side. Looking to keep my OCIs between 3-5k depending on how much track day abuse it gets at the strip. It has dual injection with a variable displacement oil pump. Hot Florida climate rarely see below 60. The PP idles smoother than the syn blend MC for sure but I think it is just too thin for what I'm doing. Looking for an off the shelf solution.
Pretty sure a 40 weight oil would be warranted in this scenario considering the abuse and the tune, just need help narrowing down my options. Looking at 5w40 options currently such as the Delvac/Delo and Castrol Edge. What would you guys suggest for this application?
