Does e10 gas remove need for oil filter replacement?

This doesn’t even make sense. Revise question.
OK I’ll bite. How does ethanol in the fuel affect the need to change the oil filter?
Methanol is the main part of many fuel treatments.

I’ve lived in an EPA nonattainment area for well over 25 years. All we have here is RFG and not one of my vehicles nor OPE is corroded nor have I had “major problems” whatsoever. What kind of equipment are you running to have all those problems?

I don't know what a nonattainment area is, but the alcohol gas makes the power valves, acc pumps and rubber sections of fuel line crack and deteriorate quickly. And it corrodes the fuel bowls. It causes tiny cracks in the power valves causing a rich mixture like going up in jet sizes, then causes bleed off in the acc pumps, causing a stumble. In my 67 firebird, 69x2, 71 73 camaro and 94 YJ wrangler with chevy 383. Prior to the gasahol coming out, these cars could sit unused with stabil for years and still start fine.
I would never use it in my boat, but in outboards in the shop i have seen the alcohol dissolve fiberglass fuel tanks, causing clogged carbs, rich/lean conditions in adjacent cylinders, and destroyed injectors in newer outboards. The alcohol gas also eats away the marine pressure acuated fuel pumps, causing failure.

if my chainsaw sits a few weeks the carb gums up. Same with my atv's. I often get customers cars in with leaking accelerator pumps and melted power valves in the carburetor.

Check.
Even IF it were true for "gunk" (doubt it) it could not possibly be true for metallic particulates (oil filter) or rust (fuel filter).
IIRC same poster referred to oil "reversing wear" recently. Seems to specialise.

Just pretend the n is not in the first word?
What???

This thread is the definition of a train wreck.
Of course its purpose was to stir up controversy but it even failed at that.

The correct answer is yes

Ok, I think I was able to follow his logic...
I think he honestly meant fuel filter. Not oil filter. After all, the knock on gasonol is that it eats at parts.
And if you do take the "n" out of the first word of his post, he may have thought that was the "revise" you were looking for, as the sentence makes more sense starting with "the" not "then." I actually enjoyed reading the discussion on e10 being corrosive.
"reverse wear" I read that- everything else made sense minus that part. Maybe he can chime in about it.
But anyways what is the bottom line about e10? I read online almost all gas is e10? Fuel treatments are mostly alcohol
so the e10 would clean out the fuel filter a bit?

He won't be chiming in I don't think since I no longer see his screen name in the User List.
You seem to channel his thought pattern pretty well maybe you can continue the thread. You're not related, are you?

No it just wasn’t hard to look for an “n” like they said to. And someone else mentioned they thought he meant fuel filter.

Ok, but re-written thus, it STILL doesn't make sense, for the reason I gave.
It'd have to be re-stated as:-
"Does the ethanol added to US pump petrol have a cleaning effect in the engine or fuel system" before it was reasonable.
I could answer THAT.
"I don't know"
(But then I dont much care, since I don't use it.)
