Use the 20w-50. The 10w-30 will cause oil pressure problems during
extended highway travel. Better yet would be a synthetic such as Mobil
15w-50. The Waterboxer needs a high viscosity oil due to it's poor
tolerances, marginal oil pump capacity, and the fact that the case
expands when heated increasing clearances at the bearings.

I ordered my Bentley, but it hasn't arrived yet.


Can someone please tell me what the suggested
temperature range for 10W30 is in a water cooled
vanagon? How about 20W50?  I need to get down to
maybe -5 to -10 C, no lower.


(I don't mean to start one of those endless recurring
discussions...)


Thanks!
