The mechanic explains

Everyone’s panicking that E20 fuel will kill cars, corrosion, rust, hydrolock, cold starts, you name it. The truth? BS4 = Euro 4, which means all BS4 cars are already ethanol-ready. This blog breaks down the hygroscopic effect, water tolerance, and real-world risks with facts, math, and a little sarcasm, not influencer fear-mongering.

Despite the fear-mongering around E20 fuel, modern BS4+ cars are built with advanced sensors, ECUs, and safety systems to keep engines safe. Here’s why E20 isn’t the engine killer it’s made out to be and how your car constantly corrects, protects, and warns you before damage happens

E20 fuel isn’t going to blow up your engine, and tuning, when done right won’t ruin your car’s reliability. At ICD Tuning, we’ve seen firsthand how much headroom manufacturers build into their engines. With proper maintenance and smart upgrades, even older cars can adapt to change. This blog explains engineering tolerances, busts myths, and shows why panic is pointless, it’s not the power that kills cars, it’s neglect.

he 0W-20 panic is fueled by WhatsApp experts and half-baked internet myths. In this detailed guide, ICD TUNING breaks down why OEMs switched, debunks thick-oil fear, and explains why mid-SAPS is our go-to for tuned BS6 engines, without harming emissions hardware.

E20 isn’t the engine killer you’ve been told it is. Most modern BS4 and newer cars are already designed to handle ethanol blends well beyond E10. In fact, ethanol has been quietly cleaning your fuel system for years, the same job you pay extra for in fuel additives. The real risk isn’t the fuel, it’s poor maintenance and pre-existing issues that E20 simply exposes sooner. Don’t let fear-mongering from people who’ve never held a wrench decide what you believe.
