Loren and all ---- maybe my goofy writing style is at fault here.
This is first hand experience. In a lots of blow-by Rabbits ----lots of fuel
winds up downstairs. Remember all the accounts of "she is not using oil" ???
wrong ----it is being replaced by fuel. I do believe Val Christian ----is telling
it from personal experience. I also agree with him. -----But read my threads in archives
and you will all see that I recommend using the best oil you can afford. In any engine.
For the lucky owners of brand new VW's I say use the best oil VW is approving.
And syn may be it.
But because I am a left wing type , ---who cares for the less lucky -----when I write it is
economics I use as a baseline ----not ----the quality of oil as a stand alone.
We used to have an outfit here called Douglas Re-Refiners ---- do I think RE-RE is ok ???
NO----because crude is cheap ---no way can they afford to make an equally good product.
If crude was 200 dollars pr barrel it may work. Economics again.
Economics of scale ---- dictates Esso, Shell , Mobil and so on. They all have a test
sheet we can get hold of. Read the fine print ---- selling oil with no API approval ---using
the explanation that it cost a lot of money ??? ---- Ask VW about that one .
Val Christian has had Rabbits from day one so when he tells us something I listen. Like the
rest of us he is not right all the time----- so what ??? .
Will I pick on someone because they are wrong ??? ---probably not.
Hagar bashing is ok with me ------ as long as you do not boot me out -----.
Hagar.
