If it is on a Roadster, it should be a stock vw lens for the older model’s 70’s

Richard Shear replied to the topic getting ready for summer in the forum General Discussion 13 years, 6 months ago
according to my stock VW friends. The oil they use is a ZDDP oil that is high in Zinc because of the flat tappets. They recommended Brad Penn Racing oil. I went on ebay and bought mine. You can get multi viscosity or straight weight. Depends on where you live as to what weight oil you need.
