switching to synthetic oil

[Lawrence C Leung]

No bad opinons here on the Pennsoil. I thought the synth was 10W-40 or
15W-50 though, can't recall anymore. Used to run it when sponsored by
local Pennsoil supplier in the Solo2 GTi (wouldn't supply the Audi
though). I support the Mobil 1 too. Don't know about the Castrol 5W-50 if
you intend to do long hard runs, track events or Auto-X though. ALthough
I am not concerned about coking, it's viscosity spread seems too large
for it to cover, so it started lifter knock after every run of an Auto-X
in the 200Q.
