<P>So things cooler: water wetter (one and a half bottles), synthetic oil&nbsp;(mobil one and/or redline), and a fan switch&nbsp;matched&nbsp;with a&nbsp;cooler thermostat,...... anything else? </P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Cooler too right? I've heard 5 - 10 degrees cooler.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; Mine runs about 20 deg cooler. Made a major difference. Also fixed some minor
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;leaks.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Go for it! I made the switch at about 10,000 miles and the engine just
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; seems to run better (consider that I feel the same way after I wash the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; van).

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; A quick question: I'm thinking of switching from 'real' to
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 'synthetic'
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; oil in my 1980 air-cooled. It has about 12000-15000 kms on the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; engine
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; since it was re-built. It has been running 'real' oil since the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; rebuild. Is this a no-brainer? Is it really just an issue of cost?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; Is
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; synthetic just better and that's all there is to it?
