After test running the engine with this fuel at home, I checked for oil under the rocker cover. There was plenty. I&#8217;m convinced the crankcase ventilation system works as it should and draws oil through the engine well. Flights went well and the engine starts easily. I&#8217;m very happy with the outcome. Before it get too cold in Chicagoland I plan to test run E85 and possibly gasoline fuel. I&#8217;m concerned that oil for gasoline wil not blend with the alcohol compatible oil already in the engine. This may require a flush of the crankcase.
