So the VW shop that rebuilt my engine had always recommended I use straight 40 weight motor oil. I took their word for it and have used it ever since my car has been running. Now I see that no one here on the world uses it! Have I been using the wrong motor oil? Should I switch? I live in Southern California so temps hit 100+ sometimes, and this is my daily driver.

Quick! Somebody get into the minutiae of the composition and characteristics of the different available oils. Oil threads are always good to see. It keeps an important detail fresh in our minds. You could be in a store that doesn't have your usual brands and think, I remember reading about what to look for in an oil for my precious 914 the other day. |
