Re[2]: synthetic oil


"I always use the cheapest supermarket oil...", Heiko, yer killing me!

Synthetic oil will not attack the seals in the VW engine.  It's the best stuff 
for your engine.  Please see these two sites, minimum:

http://www.vtr.org/maintain/oil-synthetics.html

I use nothing but Mobil 1 in both my cars (previously I was using Castrol's 
Syntec, a good synthetic oil as well) and have been doing so for over two years.
 For those who live in cold/icy climates a synthetic oil is your best 
protection!

I believe it is unnecessary and expensive. I always use the cheapest
supermarket oil (15W40). These oils fulfil the requiremnets of the
oil that was top of the range 25 years ago.
Also I heard that syntetic oils are sometimes agressive to the seals
in the engine.
