CASTROL GTX2 ---
CASTROL GTX 2 ... Not Expensive...
recommended for Air Cooled Volkswagens..
Change Your Oil frequently...
Every 1500 miles... as Beetles don't have a proper oil filter...
only a strainer...
You can get a spin on filter to bolt onto VW air cooled engines

Apologies to Home Brand $2-63 ... Lee
I believe that any good branded engine oil will be OK..
So long as its changed frequently...
I wouldn't use Home Brand etc , but some people do!!
