When I was getting ready to change out the motor in my old 70 bus, I decided to see what would happen if I drained out the oil and filled the crank case with water. It sure felt funny running the hose into the oil filler. I fired her up and the oil light turned off when the engine was up to speed. I drove around the neighborhood and it behaved ok. I didn't have the courage to run it up really hot, although there was steam coming out here and there.. 87 GL Jim San Diego (Castrol) -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Reisinger [mailto:chuckphoto@EARTHLINK.NET] Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 12:47 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: What oil Importance: High
