    Oil rating for 2002 Jetta TDI ?

    I've been running my 03 TDI on Schaeffers part synthetic 15w-40 for a total of 240,000. No wear issues. Look for the analysis reports on this website. A very good car for high milage drivers.

    Schaeffers 132 Oil Treatment Experiment

    Ken2 has some good advise. I had a Saturn that consumed a quart per thousand. Reduced the consumption to less than a quart every 3k with 15w 40.

    Need an opinion

    Hey Guys, I really need your advice for a serious problem. I have suspected for some time now that the missus has been cheating. The usual signs; phone rings, if I answer the caller hangs up, going out with the girls a lot. I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home but I...

    Can I make my own distilled water?

    Scurvy Boil the dehumidifer water down. That is a great near no cost idea. Years ago I thought about using my AC condensate as makeup water in an aquarium. Using a calibrated TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)meter it read around 50 ppm. Not knowing what the 50 PPMs were I declined putting in the...

    What U use to mix coolant ?

    I use a new bucket and RO or distilled water. I do like the idea of a new gas can though. Easy to pour.

    Newer VW TDI oil consumption question.

    I just traded my 09 Jetta TDI at 42k. It consumed no oil between 10k changes. My 03 Golf TDI with 220,000 miles and it too consumes no oil at the standard 10k oil change interval. By no oil I mean the dip stick still shows full at 10k.

    7000 or 9000 Schaffers

    Look through the used oil analysis. I think you will find either will do the job. I've used the 7000 series oil for 7 or 8 years in a tractor and diesel VW.

    Why choose a larger tire size?

    I just bought a new Civic. I picked the LX trim level in part because it came with a 16" tire size. The DX trim comes with 15s and the SI comes with 17s. I have no idea why I think bigger is better. Larger tires weight more and cost more. What is gained by getting larger tires?

    John Deere J21A spec

    I don't think I will use the Simplex again. Nothing wrong with it. The Deere product is cheaper and I don't need cold temp oil flow. Could be just the ticket were the temp outside is lower than my freezers temp.

    John Deere J21A spec

    I have a tractor (790)that requires Low Viscosity J21A. Right now I'm using Schaffers Simplex Synthetic Blend. Can't tell any difference except the cost. When I bought the Simplex I ordered enough product to get free shipping. The best thing was a case of Scaeffers Grease. This stuff has no...

    First oil change and UOA on VW 2.0 TDI

    I've decided to take the dealers free oil changes. I do watch them to make sure the correct oil is used. Than I change it again half way through the 10k interval. I plan on drawing a sample at 25k to see what is going on. I would like to find a VW 507 oil with some moly in it.

    Change by months or by miles?

    This is a good reason to use oil analysis. Even one analysis will tell you a lot.
