What's a good weight for those of us who live in places with four seasons? 10/40?
Good old Shell Rotella T 15w40 is what I put in a $14K T4 engine
I'll use it on my big T4 engine too if I ever finish my bug
I used 30W-HD valvoline in my 18yr/old gene Berg 2.0 type one till I changed to Rotella T, this engine is my daily summer driver and has been in four of my VW's. It's now in my '67 bus and I have to beef the trans before it busts it. This engine has already claimed the lives of 3 other transmissions. The engine cost me $4500 IN 1991.
Anywhere $12/gal.
BTW I still have a case of Swepco oil sitting on the shelf
