hello all. just had my '87 syncro delivered. Woo Hoo! I love it! I live in new york city, when I parked it out front of my apt, before I had a chance to scrape the "for sale..." off the windows, 3 people asked me if they could buy it. (cool!) forgive me for asking some perhaps obvious questions, but.... 1. oil changes: is it cool for me to take it over to jiffylube and have them do their thing on it? I saw in the archives about people swearing by the official VW service change. what is the wisdom of the list? 2. fuel injector cleaning fuel additives: is this stuff okay to use? I notice a little hesitation at low rpm (2.5-3.5k) and was hoping perhaps this stuff will smooth out the acceleration. for $3 I can't resist trying it, but I don�t want to mess stuff up. 3. I saw in the auto parts store oil "for older engines" which says it conditions seals & cleans stuff up. whaddaya think? 4. anybody know these guys: jeffrey clark, ross boundine if so, tell them I just bought their old syncro, and I kiss them!! regards to the vanagods! jax (proud new owner of the urban vanagon)
