Hello all, I just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful info and suggestions about the correct oil to use for my location, I believe I'm going to use Castrol GTX 20w50 (that's what I used in my previous VW's and they enjoyed it) during the warm months and 10w40 during the cold months and I'm going to replace the washers everytime, providing I can get them which shouldn't be a problem it sounds like. Thanks again, Tony >Hello all, a quick question for you about my '87 Vanagon. I'm planning >on using Castrol GTX 20W50 during most of the year with the exception of >the cold winter months. I had figured I switch to 5w30 then. Is that >fine, if not what do you recommend? > >Also in on of my books it talks about installing a new copper washer on >the oil drain plug when changing oil, do any of you do this? >Thanks, Tony -- ----- Sent from Anthony Bailey KC0HZP (mailto: abailey@mac.com) on a PowerComputing PowerBase 180 in Marble Hill, Missouri |
