Hi all
im putting together one of the 1.9L vanagon motors finally and was wondering due to recent arguments on dino vs. synthetic oil. i dont want to start any fist
fights just a simple question.
the Rebuild is going smooth and im just wondering if synthetic should be put in and stay in or go back to dino and just stick with it. also what oil change
increments can syn have over dino oil. Is there a better weight over another. Ive never used synthetic oil except in my sprinter turbo diesel and it only needs oil
changes every 10k. is that what i should expect or even half of that for synthetic??
any and all comments are welcome just no fighting! thanks Jonce
