Jonathan, in my experience when I changed over to Mobil 1 synthetic for our '86 Vanagon over two years ago, we had NO problems. I don't know what the DPO used or often he used it, but the engine kept on running better and better as we went through oil & filter changes @6000 km. I think it took about four or five changes before the van settled in to it even purr. > Jonathan Clay wrote: <snip>So, am i risking anything by switching over at this stage > in the game or not.
