[Vwdiesel] Cheap crap oil (fwd)

[H.Hagar]

I have talked to Val Christian long enough to know that anything regardless of rating
that he put in a 1.5L NA VW diesel ---will work just fine.

In the USA the crappy oils are so much better than what we had in 1940 to 1945
over there --that I would loose no sleep whatever. ( NO re refined crap now)

Anything he used I will use today in my 1.5L and 1.6L na.   And make it work.
Remember Esso AD-100 or AD-80 is not diesel rated --will it work ?  like crazy.
Just use a blotter test.

I am one who tells newbies to use good diesel rated lube and diesel Glycol.

But as you get more experienced   ---- wow  lots of room to move.   I have an engine
here with hundreds of thousands of miles (Equivalent)  NO oilchange in 20 years
gasser  run mostly on Aviation oils --at times on diesel lube. Why no oilchange ?
I wanted to find out how abrasive soot was ---etc. It does have a good filter. She keeps
on going and going.  "Annabelle" ---but she does need a new muffler.

Hagar.

PS: cylinder rust is a problem if she sits too long without running.

What sets the diesel lubes apart mostly ?   additives. Not the base stock.

I am mostly an OLD Rabbit type  but I advice anyone with a new VW to follow VW
instructions to the letter. 

A lot of small engines have no oil filter  and they last and last and last --WHY ?  because
they get rid of shit by oil-changes.Well anyway that is one reason --design is probably 
more important.
 As  to   Jake ?   he better go for the best.
And I do cut a lot of filters open ----and they can be checked by weight as to how
much crap they picked up.
