I'm assuming they're not a matter of public record, but thought I'd ask. There's a bunch I would like to read up on, but I'm wondering specifically about SI 510691373. If anyone (Brett?) could let me know what this one is about, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Brian 95 M3 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

If I remember, I'll look through my paper bulletins at the shop and see if I can find it, on Monday.

Switching back to dino cured the consumption problem. I guess I'll see soon enough what happens on my S38. I went from the dino (20w50 Kendall, I think) that the PO had when I bought it, to a syn blend (half 10w40 half 20w50 Valvoline) that dropped consumption significantly. In a couple weeks I'm planning on trying a case of full synthetic Valvoline I have lying around to see if the trend continues or not. > > - Paul - > Search the ARCHIVES:http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] > > > __________________________________________________________________________ > In memory of Michel Potheau - friend, enthusiast, founder of the BMW CCA. > > UUC Motorwerks - BMW Performance Fine-tuning and home of the Ultimate > Short Shifter - accept no substitutes! > 908-874-9092 . http://www.uucmotorwerks.com > -- Kazuto Okayasu Administrative Computing Services University of California, Irvine ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2006 08:29:30 -0500 From: "Gary Derian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "nick brearley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Dex-Cool was/Re: <E36> Thermostat Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> High 8s.

Damn, there's a name I haven't heard for years. Veedol was a "new" oil that we introduced to my gas station in Australia. We were told it was the "European Castrol".

Soon after 1970, Getty Oil Company, which had acquired Veedol as part of the Tidewater Associated Oil company, sold its European activities to Burmah: these included the rights to the Veedol name and a refinery in Gaeta, Italy. Burmah kept Veedol separate from its main Castrol brand, and the name is still used in several countries by BP which bought Burmah in 2000; in Germany it claims to be the largest selling oil in workshops.
