A friend of mine recently bought a 1982 Beetle with a stock 1200 engine, i think the previous owner used a 15w40 pcmo, it doesn't have an oil filter, would a 15w40 HDEO like Shell Rimula work? Gasoline rated with 1250ppm of zddp, i was thinking maybe Valvoline VR1 since i'm going to get tome for my car but would that be overkill? it doesn't burn a whole lot of oil from what the previous owner said. the temperatures here vary from about 0 Celsius in winter mornings ( 32F ) to 40c ( 100F ) on the hottest summer days, it will be mainly used to go to shows and not much else so low yearly mileage.
