Hi, no! another oil discussion!!

I run Valvoline 20-50 Full synthetic motor oil in my stock 2.1Ltr. �Boston Bob rebuilt engine. This engine now has about 15K miles on it and runs real strong.� I have found this oil�to be good for cold Rochester engine starts and�hot summer/freeway driving as well.

I discoverred this weight and this oil previously with a 120K stock engine that was showing low oil pressure at hot idle.� I changed the oil and put in the Valvoline full synthetic and symptons went away.� So this works for me.��I had tried the Mobil1�full synthetic�prior to Valvoline and did not see much difference from the regular dino-oil.� I would still get the flickering oil pressure light at idle.� Of course with the approved MANN or whatever oil filter.

Oh yeah�I also have a�Canadian block heater on this engine.� Nice and compact and does the job well.� I've only used it a couple of times since my engine kicks over with a couple of cranks�even wen it was�a warm 8 degrees F here in Rochacha.� Smells funny when you do turn it on from oil drips burning up.

On my�Subaroos H-4 and H-6, I specifically run Pennzoil 10W30 dinosaur oil as recommended by a long time suby master mechanic in this area.� He says that all oil lubricate but Pennzoil also has the right�cleaning agent or whatever...�All this guy does is Subys and he swears by Pennzoil .. thats all.� His father-in-law is the North�American rep for Subaru so he may have some insights on what he is talking about.
�Happy Camping,

What motor oils you you all use out there?� A friend of mine keeps pushing synthetic oil.� He's a Ford man, and not familiar with Vanagons.� What's the rap on that?
