Re: OIL vs EARL

["Tom Forhan" <TFORHAN@hr.house.gov>]

     I switched my 90 200 tqw from dino to synthetic
     eight thousand miles ago at 88,500 miles. No changes in
     oil consumption...everything seems fine. I am using
     15-50 Mobil 1.

recently while at my local audi dealer i mentioned i wanted to start using
synthetic earl in my 80,000 mile old  200tq.

one of the mechanics (not roland the audi tech) said if the car has been run
with regular oil this long, it may develope leaks around seals like cam or
other areas. you may also notice an increse in oil consumption .

Iam putting the change on hold.

this should cause some interesting disscussion.

look forward to your thoughts  i am sure there will be many


thanks
