Urgent Oil question

Post by Wanda »

Hi, I got my 6v 1959 Beetle today. The oil is on the bottom line and I want to add before I drive to the aircooled show. The problem is that I dont know what oil she has in. I have SAE40 at home. Will it be ok if I add that? Or will cause problems, if there is something different in?

No problem, you can add that.

That will work.

In future when you do an oil change, change to 15W40

Then its covered for summer and winter.
