Subject:california smog issues and synthetic oil
From:gary hradek

I have a 98 passat1.8t and 87 westy waterleaker.
Finest german engineering you can buy.
So at 4 dollars a quart for synthetic I am sold on the
synthetic for my hot running Passat.   My wife claims
I am cheap so It is hard to say I can spend 4 dollars
for a quart of oil and say I am sold on it but I am.
   I am wondering if the next time I need to pass smog
with my vanagon if I should spend the 15 dollars extra
to put in synthetic in hopes that I might pass smog as
the last time I passed by a cocks feather.   It is
clear to me that the synthetic has a much lower vapor
pressure.   Anyone out there using this in their
vanagons?   thanks gary
God forgive me for that last post.   forgot to delete.
A thousand thrashing and I will never do it again?
