Synthetic oil?
I am in southern california, I have a 1999 a4 1.8tqm.
I just put a brand new engine in, and i want to run synthetic, What do you guys run? I am thinking of using mobil one, because it's easy to get. What weight should i use? previously i used 5-30 organic.
Thanks

Mobil 1's 0w40 is the only oil they make that meets the VW/Audi 502 spec which is what our cars take
I am running LubroMoly Voll-Synthese 5w40 which is an excellent oil.
You can also try:
-Pentosynth 5W-40
-Unocal 76 Pure Synthetic 5W-40
-Castrol 0W-30 (imported German Castrol only!)
-Castrol Syntec 5W-50 (Not a a true synthetic, but a hydrocracked group III oil)
Check the back and look for VW500.00 or VW502.00, both will be fine. VW505 is not intended for our cars.

OT: Pens took the Cryers down last night. funny reading the papers this morning....
about how they lost to the worst team in the NHL.
Are we going to lose the Pens in Pitt? no $ to rebuild the team or arena :-(

Yeah, it was a good game. I enjoyed it. And they beat the Devils last week, too. :-)
I hope not. I read recently that the county will not help finance a new arena so if the state can't help out then I'm afraid their screwed. If a new arena can't be built Mario will probably sell the team and then they'll be moved. :-( I also read recently that the mayor of Winnipeg penned a letter to the Penguins expressing interest in the team moving there.
Maybe the collective bargaining agreement (if they ever agree on it) will help.

I saw that game on a NJ feed. friend has NHL Ice.
Well, it's a long time coming. The Pens have had their financial trouble for years. It seems the state sees Philly as the money maker. I tend to agree since Pitt has Steelers, Pens & Pirates whereas Philly has Eagles, Flyers, Sixers, Phillies, in-door soccer, in-door football, many concerts (Billy Joel comes to mind). The Linc has and will get used during the NFL playoffs and gain further attention that it was needed.
It's hard to say it, but the Igloo has to come down to compete for non-hockey events to fund something new. The Steelers got their Heinz stadium and went 7-9 or 6-10 (I forget) this year.
Mario won't step up. It's obvious since he's not playing. He just wanted a chance to make one last run at the cup and failed. It was just practice for his Canadian Olympic team, which was obvious when he wouldn't play any back-to-back games.
poor Aubin is doing all he can to stop the puck while no one defends or creates a scoring chance.
