AIR COOLED ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS

So it is 1970 and you are reading the owners manual in your Beetle.


It has bias ply tires, AM radio incandecent headlights and regular leaded gas was 90 octane. 

You check the section for motor oil and it recomends 30 weight oil.

Now it is 2023 and your beetle has radial tires, digital radio, LED headlights and

you are still thinking 30 weight motor oil?  Come on and smell the roses.

Oil technology has leaped 50 years ahead too.

You should be using 5w50 multigrade oil like 4 cylinder motorcycles use,

or at least 0w40 even 20w50 if you do not drive the car when the outside temperature is below 30 degrees.

Synthetic should be good for 7500 miles, that is probably 3 years of driving your fun car.

 

Worried about lead additives, well you dont drive 500 miles a week anymore,

more like 500 miles a year so adding lead substitute is a moot point for engine valve wear.

New and old customers be advised that not driving your vw and waiting 5 years is killing it,

gas tanks, carburetors and electrical systems all suffer with atrophe induced by ethenol.

If you have us tow it in and get it going only to call us a year later and it has 20 miles on it,

is horrible treatment of the car, SELL IT if you are not going to drive it.

Tire Work

Yes, we balance the old 5 lug wheels found on 67 and older beetles, 70 and older bus. $98 for 4 wheel mount and balance. Addional charges for rim edge rust removal, valve stems, wheel weights and tire disposal.

If you have been told your wheels are bent, they are not, that is hard to do. What has happened in the past is that the tire was dismounted on a coats 10/10 tire machine and the center was twisted. We can straighten the center, then the wheel will balance properly.

Yes, you may have one twisted rim, probably from collision damage in the past, not a pot hole. 

We install tires purchased elsewhere. You can have them drop shipped here. There are so many choices out there we leave what you buy up to you.

We can sourse tires for you.

The two books you should have are How to keep your Volkswagen alive by John Muir and the official service manual published by Bently, older editions have color wiring diagrams


Vintage How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive A Manual Of Step By Step by John Muir
The Muir book assumes you dont know which way is unscrew, the sprial bound editions are easer to use as you can fold it back open to the page as you make repairs,
the softback is good for reading
The Bently manual is full of technical data but not much help on how to repair
Volkswagen Official Service Manual type 1 1970-78 Super Beetle Karmann Ghia VW 
Having both will get you through most problems and answer questions
