Has anyone injecting alky/meth done oil analysis to assess the extent of oil contamination with the alcohol? Seems like a good thing to do to determine oil change intervals for an injected car. I'm planning to do that once I get my setup up and running.

 

that is a great idea for cars running meth or alcohol

 

that is actually a good idea... where can u get that done?

 

I haven't done this but I change my oil so frequently that I doubt it matters...would be nice to know though...

 

I know a number of people who are very happy with this place:

i get the oil changes done at speedco. on my dully, they have a computer that does it.im sure if u bring them a sample they can do it.is like a blood test for ur engine.oh speedco. is nation wide.

 

How often do you change your oil?

 

besides testing for R-OH....elemental test for iron, aluminum will be nice too if they can do it.

 

They can do that and a lot more. They also will interpret the results for you and tell you what's normal. It's also a good means to compare different oils and how they work for your motor. I know that a lot people have sworn off Mobil 1 after doing this sort of testing on a regular basis, at least with cars that are run hard on the road course (favoring Redline, Amsoil, etc.).

 

Nice info! How big a sample of oil do you need to send them?

 

I don't know. I've never done it myself.

 

Do you think significant quantities of MeOH will stay in engine oil at those temps?

Should fraction off, right?

 

during the race season almost every week, in the winter i do it ever 2k miles...

I run alky, just got my oil changed, and got an analysis from Blackstone. Everythings fine, not to much different then the last one from my old Evo (old evo did not run alky). Ran the oil 5000 miles, including a track day a few autoxs.

 

Excellent!
