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

I have a 2 car garage, but I am a real neat freak. I lose 2 feet on one side
of the garage for my shelving unit’s, but I can park my London Roadster, Honda CRV
and Honda Civic Hybrid in the garage. All facing forward. -
Richard Shear replied to the topic getting ready for summer in the forum General Discussion 13 years, 2 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.
