Turbo LS Horsepower Test! E85 Ethanol vs Pump 93 Octane (What's The REAL WORLD HP Difference?)
What happens here
The car has been switched to E85 fuel, which requires more fuel volume than 93 octane. Therefore, the vehicle's engine oil level needs to be checked and topped off before dyno testing. The host attempts to pour Valvoline motor oil into the engine, emphasizing a "no-spill" technique. However, some oil is inevitably spilled onto the hot engine components, which later causes smoke during dyno runs.
Goal: Ensure engine oil is at the correct level before high-performance testing.
