-, use only VW oil filters (or those sold by the List vendors); never >use Fram or similar. 20-50w Castrol and 10-40w Castrol in winter are the >oils of choice.
I second the motion about using only VW oil filters. After having a non-VW filter burst on my vehicle on the highway in the dead of winter, I use VW oil filters exclusively. Speaking of winter, VW dealers in my part of Canada are recommending (and using) 5W30 oil. Depends how cold it gets in your area. Roy O. '87 Westfalia (till death us do part) |
