UOA 2006 EVO IX, 3k miles, Rotella T6, E85 fuel

[Turbofig]

First and probley only UOA I will do. I wanted to make sure the oil was holding up to the Ethanol as every time I change the oil it just reeks of E85. The car is raced frequently so Im suprized by the good wear numbers as I expected much worse. As for the sodium I have been a frequent Rotella or VR1 user so not sure if thats a additive in VR1 or not. The car has head studs but runs a decent amount of boost so would not be suprized if a little coolant found its way in the oil either, but I have not noticed any coolant being pushed into the overflow tank or coolant loss.

Are you ok with your personal info visible to us?

Ah just deleted it thanks though

No problem. Also, it says 4B11, did you do an engine swap?

Regardless, wear numbers look really good even while under the influence of alcohol. Hehehe.

Nice...VR1 DOES have sodium so rest easy.
