Guys,

Can I have some advice / recommendations on oil & coolant for my T3 transporter.

Oil: what grades & brands are recommended? how much is needed for a full change?

Coolant: I have read that G12+ (I think) is whats recommended but where do I get it? & how much is needed for a full flush / replacement?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I'm sure Barls dad would recommend only genuine VW coolant with distilled water.

I use Penrite HPR 15 which is a semi synthetic oil (memory is that its 4.5 litres for oil change)
and G12+ (its inexpensive from VW) My memory is that its 6.5 litres for a full change.
