    VW TDI 1.9 03 Jetta Shell 5w40

    i think the auto-rx might still be cleaning so I might do another clean and rinse and start using a more robust oil like amsoil DEo 5w40 and see what happens. this car is stock and gets 45 mpg on a bad day. It may see some untaxed fuel here and there when it's not on the road of course...

    Waste oil in oil furnace

    i'm not about to dump used (clean, ie no gas or coolant) oil in any of our diesel vehicles, but what about the house's oil furnace? How would the burner fair with say 5 gallons in every 300 gallons of fuel? How exact is the injector in a furance? thank you

    AMSOIL PCO 15W40

    i think this oil is one of the best kept amsoil secrects. i've used it in my 95 powerstroke up to 13k. I'll see if i can dig up a UOA. It didn't leak as bad as the AME and started well in the cold.

    RMI 25 Questions

    i use RMI-25 successfully in my 95 powerstroke (even sent it away for coolant analysis) and most of my other liquid cooled motors. However, it says it has no benefit to dex-cool. i emailed battery stuff about this and they said it is because rmi-25 and dex-cool have similar chemistry so there...
