well, lost a center rod bearing in my srx now, within 20 miles after filling up at a BP station w/93 oct and 10% ethanol. it seems that yamalube can't stay on the bearings, and hold up against the ethanol. i called amsoil and asked if they had problems w/ethanol washing oil off of bearings, and the guy said YES. he said they changed the formula of their "intercepter", "dominator", and all 4-stroke sled oils. he said they made the oil more sticky. i also called klotz today, and the tech guy told me that their super-techniplate injection oil for sleds, is good up to 15% ethanol. he said if i was to get 18% ethanol, then i would be having the same troubles as what i'm having now w/yamalube. anybody else w/some good input? what oils are you guys using and having good luck against ethanol?
