Important information regarding OIL

Former Member

Here's some interesting reading... It has been circulating around most air cooled based bulletin boards for several months but for some reason, it hasn't made it here so,,, I suggest you read the article from the below listed link::::

http://www.lnengineering.com/oil.html

The bottom line is that the Govt. is mandating that oil companies remove zinc. Zinc is a major lubrication contributor

As a side note, I just ordered a case of GM's EOS, part number
1052367 see: http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm?singlepart=1&partnumber=1052367

I also concur that the Shell Rotela oil along with the EOS is probably the oil you should be using in your VW based engines.

As per the article I posted, check to make sure that the oil hasn't been reformulated with less zinc before making a purchase. If your favorite oil has been reformulated, check the chart and buy oil with a high zinc (Zn) and phosphorus (P) count.
