We use 10-30 at our dealer but you may need something like 10-40 or 20-50 if you live in a hot climate for summer use.

Get the owner's manual from the person you bought the car from. (What kind of person loses the owner's manual from the glove box of the car, or intentionally doesn't give it to the buyer when selling the car?) Or see if rb.com or ebay or whatever has one for sale. At the very least, you'll need the manual to determine what maintenance you'll need to do (and if there are no service records, you'll have to do all of the service that can possibly be needed up to the mileage on the car). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy J.

The only car I've bought that had a manual was an '87 Jetta for $200. Plucked the tranny and some odds and ends, kept the manual and junked the rust...err, rest.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Oil type?
