[QUOTE="piggy, post: 498939, member: 13218"] Thanks SiDev - running with around 3.4litres and it seems more steady now. Paul, My understanding was that the air cooled VW engines run best on single grade as multigrade goes too thin at the higher running temperatures over a water cooled. 15/40 in my opinion would run too thin when hot, I did run a 20/50 on an old engine but had a bearing failure so have returned to SAE30. I will be doing a proper run in on this engine so it will be serviced after first 500 miles, then after next 1,000 (or probably 500). Thanks, James [/QUOTE]
