It's API SN
Do you mind checking the drum of your delvac me to see if it is actually compliant with this latest specification Justin?
This will assist other e85 / eflex users in determining correct oil to use
For the sake of brevity ill summarize the issue for those who aren't aware:
- ethanol is alcohol which attracts moisture (thus the condensation pic Justin took of some of his engine components a few pages back)
- due to this moisture attraction, water can potentially be introduced into the lubrication system during combustion phase (unburnt ethanol slipping past the bores etc)
- ethanol has high dilution properties which break down oil suspension agents in engine oil very quickly. This means instead of lasting 5000-10,000 kms, oil will only be good for say 2500kms before needing replacement.
Sorry for thread hijack Justin but I felt its a timely reminder. Hope you don't mind
Cheers
Mick
