Last year when I swapped to E85, I noticed lots of water coming out of my cutout, so I decided to look at the oil from the breather tube. Sure enough, I could see the murky oil passing through and within a minute or so, its cycled through and clear again. I try and drive my car anytime I start it to boil out the water, but I cant do this everytime. It irritates me that I know this is happening. From what I read on the internet, this happens to alI cars that sit. That is why you dont start them during the winter season....You have to drive them.
I have put some hard miles on here since the E85 and the oil always looks good, but wondered if anyone else has witnessed this happen.
Seems like E85 is more susceptible to water contamination than gas IMO.
I have since swapped my fan turn on point to 180 degrees and make sure the car is good and warm before boosting tho.
