News: What are the best oils to use when driving on bioethanol fuel

It is possible to find gasoline with the addition of bioethanol (technical alcohol) at gas stations in Ukraine. Such gasoline is marked with an additional letter E (from the initial letter in the word Ethanol), for example, A 95E. The fuel with alcohol is a bit cheaper than the regular one and that is the reason why it attracts the drivers.

Generally, the usage of gasoline with alcohol does not cause any problems in the vehicle’s operation. However, there is one peculiarity. If such gasoline accidentally gets into the engine oil crankcase, for example, due to a fuel equipment malfunction, it can lead to an undissolved layer and as a consequence affect the lubricating properties of the oil. The engine oil’s ability to emulsify, to dissolve alcohol, is very important here so that such a contamination layer does not appear at all.

Sunoco’s modern, highest quality American API SP and API SN engine oils can dissolve gasoline from the start. This important property of Sunoco oils is inherent in their production with high-performance additive packages and high-quality base oils. That’s why Sunoco oils can and should be used in internal combustion engines when using fuel with alcohol.
