Subject:      5W30 Oil --- is it OK???
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Just put 5W30 in my 84 vanagon ---- saw a post this morning that talked about burning out bearings (oil to thin???) but was too quick on the delete key. Is this oil OK??? --- I'm leaving on a long trip Saturday and am wondering if I should change to something else before I go. (I swear I noticed a performance improvement too --- but I sure don't want to risk damaging the engine))

Thanks, Doug 84 Westy
