| All the wire's in my car are annoying ( Racelogic, boost controller, dual wideband, JS knock sensor ) I'm looking into Standalone's and want one that could atleast replace the traction control, full throttle shift and launch control. While also making it easier to tune my car with these ridiculously large injectors ( ID2000 ). Not related really . . . but my oil smells like GAS, maybe thats why I spun a bearing!!!! I only say that because of this: The change in the service properties of modern motor oils in contamination by fuel was examined. It was experimentally shown that mineral and synthetic oils can totally lose their working capacity when contaminated by fuel. Fuel in the engine oil reduces its lubricating properties. Small amounts of fuel are common as a result of the combustion process. But if fuel levels exceed 4% we will suggest a check for defective fuel injection nozzles and other sources of leakage. Fuel dilution is generally the result of extended idling, incorrect
timing, or a problem with the fuel injectors, pumps or lines. There are two primary reasons an oil might experience a decrease in viscosity. The first is fuel dilution, which is not a failure of the oil but a contamination problem that must be resolved promptly. Another possible reason for a viscosity decrease is shearing of the long-chain polymer molecules that comprise
the viscosity improver additives. In such an instance, the oil can no longer maintain performance at higher temperatures and migrates toward the lower viscosity of the base stock mineral oil. In either case, fuel dilution or shearing, the oil can "thin down" to the point it can no longer maintain an adequate oil
film at operating temperatures.
