Zinc and Phosphate (sp) often combined in the spec., are said to be required for lifter/camshaft longevety.
I'll take your advice on board Matt, I wool rather support an Australian product.

Got to do a oil change on the bus and i might change her over to Ace as well. Ace seems to be going all right in the beetle . I suppose the only negative is it's not widely available where you can just go down the likes of auto shop and buy it. Matt do you sell it in 5L ??

Carl, I just checked my records and Mary has ACE 30. Next change I'd put in ACE 40 as she wouldn't mind a thicker oil with her worn bearings.

Yes and a number of mates have aswell, high zinc content perfect for VW engines.
It is a bit pricey but if you have just spent a lot on an engine its a small price to pay .
