Scott Casler of Hummel Engines recommends Rotella for any VW application, for the zinc content. That goes for cars too. As I understand it, the metallurgy of auto engines changed in the 80s to be compatible with the mandated lower zinc levels in oil. So I suppose that means if you didn't give up your Bricklin to Cash For Clunkers, it would be wise to run Rotella.
