[QUOTE="Graham L, post: 640236, member: 3481"] Personally I wouldn't trust the save my bug unless it's been calibrated properly, they are notorious for giving false readings as it's a bit of bent copper that sends the signal. As others have said don't use a monograde, VW changed the spec in the mid 70's and we have always used a 15/40 mineral oil in all of our standard ISH engines, the westway oil is good and we have used that as well as others but it has to be a mineral engine oil to help with cooling and lubrication. You definitely don't need a heavy duty oil pump on a stock engine, you will end up pushing oil out of every orifice🤣 [/QUOTE]
