Hi Bill,

I've had Amsoil recommended to me by a number of people.  As soon as I have
my vans in a stable condition, I'll be switching to it.

Brad,

(State college, pa)

Subject: oil again

Dear List.

There were several discussions this year about grades of oil in the 2.1l
engine. As I recall it had been narrowed down to 10w40 used by the
dealer, 15w40 in cold regions and a vote or two for 20w50. But no one
recommended brand other than synthetic Mobile One. So does anyone have a
recommendation for brand or does it really matter? Years ago my local
dealer (Pgh.,Pa.) was using Pennzoil (I think).

Thanks in advance.
