you said....."Well, whatever it is, I'm going to keep using it based solely on my excellent experience with it."




You do that. Back in the day, I was on the VW TDI forums with some friends saying the same thing about using oiled-foam air filters, modifying ECUs, etc, all because WE KNEW BETTER than the VW engineers.

Sadly, I went through 5 airmass meters on my TDI, and ultimately melted - yes melted - the injection pump due to amateur foolery. Ah, but it was fun to think I had outsmarted the engineers. Throw in some Autozone tranny fluid while you're at it - hey, it's cheaper!
