VeeDub, if you go to the www.oilanalysis.com forums, there's a post from early january regarding Synpower 5W-40 vs Mobil1 5-30 in a VW. It should be easy to find since posts on that site have slowed considerably. I recognize your name from a lot of the oil discussions from Clubb5. I don't post...

Hello, I'm new to the site and I have to say, there's a lot of great info here. Great site! I'm no expert, but I do find this stuff very interesting. I've heard of Auto-Rx so I decided to give it a shot. Some info: I plan on using it on my 89 Pathfinder (V6) with 195K on it. I've been running...
