I been using Syntec 0W-30 in our van and 5W-40 in the turbo Beetle for several years .. Great stuff!!!
A buddy just picked up a cherry...with the cream on top... '63 VW Bug. Its a 1200cc air cooled that calls for straight 30wt back when it was made.
Since it lives in Texas Hill Country and it rarely gets down to freezing (and not long at that)and the Texas summers are 100F, I'm thinking 5W-40...
Would you consider using 0W-30, 5W-30 or 5W-40 Syntecs in it? Or just go to straight 30W and call it a day? (If so, which brand?)
Suggestions, thoughts, opinions?
