[Vwdiesel] Bad Oil Change Experience

[Erik Lane]

I've been using Delo 400 for years now - I love it for diesel engines. I
don't know how many, but more than 10 years anyway. It's always been a
conventional dino-oil whenever I've seen it in the store. Though it doesn't
surprise me at all that they also make a synthetic. I've probably even seen
it, but just not paid much attention to it since I don't use it. It DOES
surprise me that it's still called Delo 400 when synthetic. That seems a
little confusing. Though the price difference would wake you up to it!! :)
