IMO, multigrade oils have improved a lot since the days when VW recommended against them. It is true that in those days the best oils available for our cars were the straight weight oils, because our engines ran quite a bit hotter than the water cooled engines that everyone else drove. Since that time water cooled engines have been designed to run hotter and hotter, until there is not so much difference anymore. 15W-40 sounds like a very good choice to me. What brand and what does it cost you? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
