RE: why does pennzoil smell so nasty?



wouldnt doubt it, the stuff is almost as bad as gear oil as far as smell.
Gear oil is the only smell that has made me sick ever!

I remember finding some VW FAQ a couple of years ago someplace on the
net that had all kinds of nasty things to say about Castrol, and how
their formula was causing premature wear.  It concluded by saying that
they had since "fixed" whatever it was that was so bad.  Don't recall
the source, but they made a big case out of it, and *sounded* plausible.
Then again a lot of stuff you read on the net sounds plausible and is
100% bullshit.. so who knows?
