Subject:Re: Fluids: Which are best for Vanagon Longevity?
From:Malcolm Stebbins

I've gone synthetic for the Engine and Tranny, and I
change the engine oil ever 10,000 kms and tranny oil
every 2 year.  I have tried the VW orange 'proper'
coolant, but it leaks from EVERY joint/coupleing, so I
have gone back to the best 'green' stuff I can find
and flush and change every year.

IMHO Frequent changing of fluids is as important as
the quality, but I figure that quality and frequency
is a good combo.  Cheaper than getting one's engine or
tranny rebuilt. And the engine revs better and starts
more easily.  m2cw  Malcolm
