"generally the aircooled vw doesn't like synthetics." Yes, we all know motor oil hasn't evolved in the past 50 years and what sludge was good in the 1930s is now still applicable in terms of molecular technology. The troglodytes will still hold onto their beliefs. "Yeah run 50W straight.. That works." Nobody of course realizes how truly thick straight 50 is nor how much power it robs just to pump it through the engine, but again, it was good for grandpa.. Unfortunately all ACVWs are becoming antiques so I guess the antique mantra should still be upheld. Does anybody know where a good old Sperm Whale is? I need to lubricate my torsion bars.
