I realize we are drifting off the too much oil question (a bit extra not likely, a lot more yes), but...
What is the tribol knowledge (yes, pun) on VR1 Dino vs VR1 Synthetic? I have been told by the high priests of the oil religion that our 914s were made for Dino and should always have Dino oil... Never use anything other than VR1 Dino! I think this comes from "everyday" synthetics that reduce the zinc and phosphorus for catalytic converters. I agree that these typical synthetics should not be used in tappet engines without an additive ZDDP additive.. The VR1 Full Synthetic should give our air cooled engines the best of both worlds. Looking at the spec sheets they have identical Zn and P amounts, Dino or Synthetic. I have both on the shelf and as soon as I run out my Dino stock I'm moving on to the high temperature benefits of synthetics (VR1). I don't want to "coke" my Dino oil by getting stuck in an unexpected traffic jam.   |

Its gone from oil overfilling subject to a oil brand type thing,us in the know run the oil that our motors should use.....lets get back on subject ,think we are safe to say Jake has already supplied a very educated reply to over filling and I think that is good enough. Rant over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . |
