Running on full E85 dumps in a ton of fuel even for street driving, so fuel dilution is a major issue. As a result, only use a 40 weight with a high HTHS and LL-01 spec. Cheaper LL-01 oils have a minimum level of HTHS required to meet LL-01 (3.5). Xcess does a bit better with HTHS of 3.7, so you have a bit more protection for the money.

Full E85 in Socal is roughly E70. I’ve never seen it go beyond that.

Mine was done as per schedule and it says 17,000km to the next change
Having seen how straightforward the oil and filter is to change I was going to do a change now as it's 11,000 Km since last one Would Castrol Edge 05W30 M suffice? I know it's not LL04 but give how quickly it will be changed soon I think be good. I'm in Dublin Ireland. And 95 octane unleaded is the only petrol available Thanks |

P.S. It shows that Castrol Edge 5w30 M is LL-04 approved on their site.

From memory Shell V power which is 98 hasn't been sold in Republic of Ireland for years. But is widely available in UK. When I bough my the Castrol edge 5w30 I saw LL-04 on the can. Thanks |

If running Motul Sport 5W40 for 12 months, is it acceptable to continue running the same oil, with an oil change obviously, or do folks cycle between oil types? I was thinking perhaps switching to Motul Excess2 5W40 or Redline 5W40 for this coming year instead continuing with Sport 5W40 as it's not as widely available this year it seems. |

I was about to do a change to Amsoil 5-40 Euro from Castrol 5-40 Euro for a track event in late Feb at VIR. Redline in the past 12-15 years ago had made my engines feel noisier and more "loose". Been using Amsoil since until this thread I switched to Castrol 5-40 because $.

Why not a higher weight Redline option for track months and something like 0w30 or 40 for fall/winter?

Yeah, regarding winter months, the 0w may make some sense, though anymore our winters here in South Jersey have been pretty mild that I don't feel super-compelled to go that route. The car also sits in a garage overnight. |

The newest LL-01 on the block is Castrol Euro 0W-30.
HTHS of 3.5, pour point of -60 indicates Group IV base stock. I am likely going to give this one a go on my next OCI. https://www.amazon.com/Castrol-06244...s%2C142&sr=8-3
