Hi Ken, Yeah! The oil chat!
From what I’ve read, there are some new full synthetic oils that are pretty good in street VWs. Like this: https://type4store.com/products/sealants/joe-gibbs-racing-dt50-full-synthetic-15w50-aircooled-engine-oil-12-quarts.html However, these synthetic oils are incompatible with 100ll avgas due to the inability to keep the lead in suspension. I wouldn’t go with them unless you were sure that it was compatible with 100ll - or if you can use only auto gas. I have also read some good things about Rotella which also includes a zinc additive. There was a VW service manager from New Zealand that commented on a large study of different oils and the result was clear that single weight non-synthetic was by far the best. This was more than a few decades ago so I don’t know how things have changed.
