Hi all, I’ve been reading the other articles about what oil people prefer to run with e85 and I am looking at switching over to the well recommended Valvoline vr1 20w50, but my only question is I also saw a fellow dsm’er from Colorado say that he had to switch to 10w40 because of the cold temps. My car stays in the garage but it still get a little cold in there maybe like 40 degrees. My car does not leave the garage unless it’s warmed up and the water temps are at 170-190ish . I would like to make the switch to vr1 but just wanted to know what the risks are of running it since it’s a little colder in Colorado and if I should just wait. I’m currently on royal purple 5w30 just made the e85 switch about a week ago. Any advice or help would be great! Thanks!
