I am new to Westy ownership and would appreciate =
some
tips/advice on a few questions:
1). What type of oil (sythetic/blend/normal) =
and weight
(10/30 20/50)? I am from the northeast. It is a new rebuilt =
engine
(10K on it) and was told to use 20/50? I have been using Castrol =
20/50
synthetic blend with Mahle filters.
2). It has new Brigestone 8ply tires. What =
tire
pressures should I run? 35 front/ 40 rear....that is one I
heard?
3). What RPM range is good from highway =
driving (long
term ownership).....3200..3500..4000rpm? Seem high to run 4000 on =
highway,
although I am used to lower rpm engines. I am running
3400rpm@65mph.
4). Does anyone use Redline =
water-wetter? Is it
worth it?
Thanks for any information you could pass my =
way.
So far, I love the new Westfalia experience.
Thanks, JD 85
