[V8] FW: Mobil DTE 13 M

[Coleman, David]

Egad -- Am I the only freak here who uses Pentosin and nothing but?  For
both hydraulic (11S) and coolant systems?

I think if you lived in Alaska or Death Valley, you might want the full
temperature range provided by Pentosin.  The others are almost as big a
range, but not quite.

that's for sure. I've run a 50//50 mix of ATF/Motor oil in 
min just to get home. I was in Vegas, living in Oklahoma. went through
about 
40-50 quarts to get home. Yea, it was smoking ;-) That was the cheap
stuff, 
BTW, no synthetic there. I rebuilt the pump (an "X" cap was leaking
bad), 
had all the hoses done at spokane hose, and flushed the system and
filled 
with DTE-13M. Rack has never leaked, and I put about 60K on the car
after 
that.

Now, I did a rack on a customer's Jetta the other day. 02 VR6 with 55K
on 
it. Only Pentosin in the car since new. It leaked pretty badly, enough
that 
they would loose all assist after two days if they didn't keep adding to
the 
car. So, just how good is that Pentosin, anyhow?

Not that I'm saying a substitute is better, I think they both have 
positives/negatives. But, I certainly couldn't justify spending $60 to
flush 
and fill my system on that car (V8) when I had two 5000's also that
needed 
it, and I could do them all for $35. Call me cheap, but I just can't do
it. 
And, the results (still) speak for themselves.
