What's New with My Cars?

I've owned the 1986 VW Jetta for 5 years now and have 3 years of investigating and trying different ideas.

A few notes from 2006:

  1. I noticed that in cold weather especially in the winter, the oil (15w-40w diesel oil) in the Jetta was very thick and oil pressure light took a little to long to go out. So I decided to try some AMSOIL synthetic oil. What a difference in starting the Jetta in cold weather! The oil light goes out much sooner that before. and it lubes the engine better.
  2. With the engine having about 240,000 miles I thought it would be a good idea to try a product called MOTORSILK in the engine. It's a one time use engine oil additive to protect the engine parts by coting the metal parts with Boron.
