As soon as I drained the Mobil 1 5W 30 out (did not replace the almost new VW oil filter, though). I'm left to believe that since so many of us have this common experience that nothing is wrong, kind of like the OXS and ALT lights that don't go out after starting until you tap the gas pedal. By the way I had the flickering oil light with the VW oil filter, though--I think it's the oil. Didn't VW Owner's Manual specifically mention that flickering oil light after extended period of high speed driving was of no concern (I know my '75 Rabbit book said this)-- ____________________________________________________________________________ Donald Baxter 404-447-6831 (Work) JHK & Associates 404-874-3292 (Home) An SAIC Company 404-449-7268 (Facsimile) Opinions mine, not SAIC's or JHK's dbax@netcom.com '85 Vanagon '92 Passat Variant Atlanta, Georgia GO JAYHAWKS!!!!
