Well... I've been running Total Oil (Formerly Elf Oil)... There are two to choose from... A full Synthetic "racing" 10W50 http://www.lubadmin.com/upload/produit/FichePDF/lang_1/1177.pdf or a Mineral technology 20W50 http://www.lubadmin.com/upload/produit/FichePDF/lang_1/1170.pdf Not sure which is better... I run the "Synthetic" oil and get it locally at S&G in Detroit. I've had good results so far with the 10W50 in my 91 2.1L motor. Jack R. 84 Westy with a 2.1L motor

We have Sam's Club. They carry Mobil-1, but never have the 15w50. Wal-Mart usually, but not always, has the 15w50 in 5-qt jugs. Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL No virus found in this incoming message.
