As of 2012 production, there are over 10 million Flex Fuel cars on the road. If it were a problem it would be wide spread chaos.
As per the Ford Manual. If your recommended oil change interval is 5000 miles for regular oil change, then it goes to 3000 miles on E85.

True Street always did my oil changes and Toby never said there was anything he would worry about. That was at 5000 mile changes also.

Im running amsoil AZO in mine and when I called they said when using E85 with that oil to follow the OEM change interval instead of their recommended 25k. I just got done logging my latest update. it really is a night and day difference in fuel for sure.

last dyno was 533/473 std with the stock box with a best of 11.9@124. After adding the JLT/Tune, TiVCT updates and better track prep ive ran a best of [email protected] on 91. Im hoping to hit the track tonight. These times are on street tires and only suspension mods is roush springs. Im hoping to dyno on E85 on 1 Dec.

I'll never go back...Kevin showed me the light. I was once a 93 (90 in AK) sinner, but I have been cleansed of my sins through the liquid gold of E85.

I think the manual says 7500 mile oil changes now but I could be wrong. That brings us down to 5000 mile oil changes.

Got the belt. Ordered idlers and tensioner brace. I'm thinking I'll hold off for the DFW5.0s dyno day Dec. 1.

Change the fuel lines and everything else should be good till you run out of fuel system.

on these cars we dont need to change the lines out unless your shooting for the moon. I am currently running ID1000 injectors and a Vortech non programable BAP. Shaun has my car running 24*s near the top of 4th. The car flat hauls ass!

The lines will not hold up over time. The ethanol will eat the lining.

I talk to Truestreet and I don't have to upgrade my fuel lines. All I need is injectors and a tune.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
