Has anyone try MasterSeries? (www.masterseriesct.com). I saw the link on thesamba, and tried to find out more about it. It seems to be an Amsoil-like franchise deal, except that I was unable to find out who actually *makes* the stuff! (all the web sellers seem to say exactly the same things about the product, except who makes it!) Claims to have all the benefits of POR15, plus no UV sensitivity, and much cheaper. If I could find someone in Canada who sells it, I might give it a try. Shawn Wright http://zuiko.sls.bc.ca/~swright '85 Jetta TD (retired) '85 Jetta D '88 Westy 2.1L '82 Diesel Westy |
