Which oil do you put in a VW Beetle?

Volkswagen Beetle models have specific oil requirements depending on the year, engine type, and climate. Here are some general guidelines for oil selection:

1. Pre-1970 Beetles: These models typically used air-cooled engines and require a specific type of oil formulated for air-cooled engines. SAE 20W-50 or SAE 30W oil is commonly recommended for these engines.

2. 1970-1979 Beetles: These models introduced water-cooled engines. For these engines, a good quality conventional oil such as SAE 10W-40 or SAE 10W-30 is generally suitable.

3. 1980-2010 Beetles: These models continued to use water-cooled engines and often require synthetic or synthetic-blend oil to meet the specifications recommended by Volkswagen. Common options include SAE 5W-40, SAE 5W-30, or as specified in the owner's manual.

It's always best to consult the owner's manual or maintenance guide specific to your VW Beetle model for accurate and up-to-date information on the recommended oil type and viscosity. Additionally, consider factors such as the climate and driving conditions when choosing the appropriate oil for your vehicle.
