Im getting a brand new motor installed too, are any of the oils you guys mentioned friction modified? bad for a new motor is it not? she doesnt bed in
properly. If an oil doesnt clearly state FM, does that mean its not?

I dont think 10-50 is too thick, GTX2 is 20-50, which means that it is thicker than 10-50.
I put GTX2 in both my bugs, 1641 and 1835.
I would like to know what other ppl with 1835's are using though... |

Why not magnatec? I have been using it in the roadster and it seems ok? Engine runs cool and warms up nicely even on cold mornings and oil seems to
stay clean longer than others i have used.

THink about this: if the oil is clean, your engine remains dirty...
I use GTX2 in everything I own - V8s and VWs.
For all those with new engines: There is a thread on here about running-in - use the search funtion to find it

GTX2 here, seems to be OK.
(yay - another oil thread!) I don't know if any of these will be particularly relevant, but here you go...
http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=21717#pid162584 ("what oil for 1600 kombi engine")
http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1324#pid7715 ("Whats the best Oil")
http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=13127#pid97598 ("What oil should I use?")
http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5184#pid37713 ("oil" for an 1800 kombi)
I'm sure there must be more. Cheers dudes,
Aurel

Shell 10w-50 semi synthetic. Works great. Leaks more but runs up to 10 degrees cooler for me.

10w 30 in winter and 20 50 in summer... cause its air cooled, you need a thin oil (ie 10 30) so it can circulate and disipate heat quickly.. see
vintage vee dubs (sydney)... they recommend the 10 30 for all air cooled..
