The PO has put synthetic in the case of My Type IV since he got it.
The motor drips a little. Is synthetic to thin? Should I keep going synthetic? |

I'm pretty sure the spec is for straight 50 weight. It gets plenty hot round here, and I don't feel any concern. Been running 50 or 5W50 in VW flat fours for 25 years without problems. |
