Re: why does pennzoil smell so nasty?

Kevin,
I didn't mean to infer you personally were saying it was a
problem, but I rather was hoping someone might definitively refute
the claims you'd heard about.

Now as for Mobil, do they make a 20-50 weight?  I know Vdubbers
who swear by 30wt oil, but my one experience with it wasn't
hopeful.  Actually, I wasn't totally sure how to analyze some of
the results of its use:  it got really black, really fast.  I
could think, "Hmmm, better detergent in this stuff.  It must be
doing its job."  Or I could think, "It's broken down already? 
Glad I check the oil often."  Maybe it was my imagination, but I
could swear the engine was a tad noisier.  Real scientific, I
know.  

Any thoughts?  Anyone?

Jennifer
