I used to use Brad Penn, now I use ACE, Aussie made, more available (than Brad Penn), and a true viscosity rating unlike the other oil prominantly
mentioned above. I also found better oil pressure at temperature with ACE over Brad Penn and Castrol of similar viscosity.
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 ??

Hey Matt did you use Ace 30 or 40 on Bud? I'm hoping i can keep the oil in Bud and the Bus the same so i'll use whatever left for tops ups etc..

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 .
