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.
