[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 11399659, member: 11681"] Fuel dilution is a valid and legit reason to drain your oil. Fuel does get into the oil since the rings will always have oil on them and the top ones are exposed to combustion. If they were dry they would not seal very well at all. The level of fuel dilution will be higher with E85 and Meth powered cars since the stoich is so different. High levels of fuel dilution is common on blown meth engines, I would assume it would be higher on blown E85 engines as well but to a slightly lesser degree. The RP XPR series race oils actually separate quite nicely from meth when drained and allowed to sit. The guys that race with meth love our XPR.(drags, dirt and asphalt mods and super mods and sprints) You can pour off the meth that has risen to the top and actually reuse the oil. E85 might not separate as easily or at all since it is blended with gas, I will find out tomorrow and post up. Sorry to hear of your recent difficulty, hopefully you can get your fuel dilution issue under control without too much hassle. [/QUOTE]
