Listees,

The recent thead re: the proposed Vanagon list sticker has been fun to
watch!   I can't wait to see the the outcome of that    I wish I had
some artistic contribution to make.

If I EVER thought about using a quiky lube in the past I have once and
for all discarded that faulty notion.

I've always filled my filters with oil before installation.  I can't
even remember what made me start the practice.  Maybe just plain logical
I guess.

Now the problem:
Recently my OX2 and Alt. lights have begun flashing quikly off and on at
random.  The fequency and brightness increases with either load
(ie:climbing a hill) or RPM (as in graeter than 3400) .  If I just drive
easy like 60 mph or so at 3200RPM  I don't see the lights flash at all
(yet).
Any wisdom shed on me would be appreciated.
