The gasket kits are readily available, cheap, mail-order if nothing else. VW dealers might even have them(what a concept!), though I've not bought one through them. You can reuse the fiber gaskets, if not torn up, in a pinch(Sunday night and nothing is open and you need it first thing in the morning type of pinch). You're risking a slow leak reusing any of the gaskets, really. I've done it, don't recommend it. Oil is a big discussion item, you'd do better to go back in the archives on that. Depends on what you do with the car and what climate you run in. I ran straight 30 all year round in CA, but the outside temp never got below 20 degrees.
