[Vwdiesel] Oil Filters ---( Hot dam NOT a FRAM ? )

[H . Hagar.]

Thank you guys    sez Hagar.  :       I followed just about every link posted.  .   BUT
please read Val Christians threads real close.--I did.   Val has operated and or owned VW
diesels since 1977 continuously.

Further I am in lockstep with just about everything he ever printed.----Could it be ? that
the filter I am using Fram 3569 is acceptable ? ---Hard to argue with performance --JAH
?----and here they performed like crazy dollar for dollar.
It looks like MANN and MAHLE is out front right now --so ?   I shall try to get some.
Here are the FACTS :   Bunny Bondos oil is absolutely clean (NO BLACK) on the last blotter
test. ----yeah it blew my socks off too. 20 year old girl  and LUBE OIL is clean
?????---nothing short of mind-boggling.
Many a PO diesel produced a "Tobys Ass" on the blotter test ---so we ALL think that black
is OK ?---now it is not sign of disaster --in general --- But some time back Val Christian
pointed out that SOOT may be abrasive ? ---he was correct. I contacted ESSO Mobil    and
they confirmed that indeed it was so. They explained that it had something to do with
change in the Diesel Fuels sold today.I have it here in print.
If I can get it down to Loren  he can then hand it out to all at Dieselfest NW at Pacific
Beach.It has color pictures and all.
Will I find out why the oil is so clean ? ---sure hope so. Here are some guesses :
Most important "Hillbilly TUNING"  ---Lorens 2 cycle oil treatment ----Hagars ParoWax and
Aviation oil treatment ---and good fuel. Oil is Wal-Mart 15W40   diesel lube  --Tech 2000
? I get it in 20 liter buckets.

Wal-Mart ? ---NO I am not happy to see Wal-Mart in this place --it wiped out a lot of
small stores. Upsetting our lifestyle.

Hagar .
