What happened to Eric Allred?
I read something to the effect that he was going to work for
Aircooled.net in October 2002 or close to that. |

Eric worked for us for 4 years, then got his HVAC license and does
that as his occupation. He works 100' from us now, and we have lunch a couple times a year, and I still consider him a great friend. He's doing very well. |

He's doing very well. Does he still have his aircooled VW's that he used 5W30 oil in? I was wondering if they are still running after using that weight of oil. TIA! |

PM him on thesamba or cal-look... 5w30 is fine, I ran 10w30 for many years, and now am running 5w20 for the past few months... no issues... |

Any modern oil is presumably good enough to lubricate Beetle engine, at least as long as it's stock and driver bothers to change it time to time. "Best oil available" is a different thing and I'd rather not go into that discussion again. -- Tuomas - VWs:'63 typ14, '65 typ34 & '61 typ2 |

That does not change the fact the engine was designed with one particular viscosity in mind, that being W30 for summer driving, altering in extreme heat and cold.
