Oil Question

Bugtech, You are being silly, dog poop only lasts 12.3 minutes as a lubricant before it loses viscosity and turns flammable. Not to mention the smell. You should have learned that at VW school . geeez. sc

I wouldn't think that would be a problem. Stupey only runs 10.46 mins. at a time doesn't he ? Plenty of time to re-load. Flamable ? Does Frank know about this ? Poop 101 wasn't discussed at VW school until they came out with the Type-4. This was after my time thank goodness :roll:

Thanks!

Hey Fred, I should have stated 20w50 High Detergent. VW aircools seem to like to cruise with Castrol.

Not to sound like a big dummy, but...what's the difference between detergent and non-detergent? (And don't just tell me one has detergent and one doesn't.) How can I tell by looking at the bottle? I just use Castrol GTX 20w50.

Well its sort of like this.+ " What's the difference between Kinky sex and normal sex ?" The anwser is ---- About $15.00 :lol: At one time long ago " Kinky Sex cost a little more.
Some folks say the "HD " on the can means Heavy Duty , some think it means High Detergent. I have seen more cans marked Non-Deregent than marked High Detergent. Most all the major brand muti-viscosity oils are High Detergent. I don't even think there is a 10w30, 20w50 etc. Non-detergent oil . I might be wrong. GTX is High detergent though.
All this info is for normal people . Smelly Cat makes his own oil thanks to his buddy Frank and his Hound Dog. :lol:

Thanks Bugtech. expensive oil = expensive drips in the driveway. Tts like vitamins. You buy, eat, and excrete.. just like a VWmotor treats oil. SC

What !! Your Stupey leaks oil ? I can't imagine !! :roll:

Smelly_Cat · « **Reply #25 on:** December 14, 2007, 08:26:22 PM »

Ya poor Stupie.... leaks oil like a stuck pig. Make that a stuck oil Drum. Maybe 50w leaks out slower? I was gonna drive it today but the oil light was flickerin last time I drove and decided against adding a quart of Smelly Special Oil in the dark. Is there any good products like "BugTech in a Can"that will fix my main seal ? sc

That "Bug Tech" in a can stuff doesn't work well at temps below 35 degrees but it is available. BugTech Stuff , the heated garage version, works really well. :lol: :lol:
Driving with a blinking oil light is going to jump up and bite you one day. It doesn't take to many times .

Not going outside!!! #-o

SC- I say if it don't leak, it must out of oil1 :badgrin:

Ret.Bugtech · « **Reply #29 on:** December 19, 2007, 12:16:19 PM »

What weight oil in -10 to 30 degrees weather ? Other than what Kile stated ( which sounds good to me) that is a good question for your part of the woods. 10 w30 maybe ? For the type of weather around here 20 w 50 works for us. Its pretty rare to get low temps like you guys get.
You could move down below the Kudzu Belt then it would't be a issue :lol: :reindeer:
