Not studied here that I know of. But maybe I recall a thread or two. Didya try the cornball search?

I'd like to think if you aren't running good and hot you could have more acid problems, more water build up. But I could be all wet. So to speak.

Any E85'ers into oil?????

I hear that oil should be changes much more often w E85. I don't really know why.
E85 is quite popular in Sweden due to its being tax expempt now and that puts it just below gas for mileage cost.

Alcohol is very hard on oil. It will certainly need changed more often.
