2nd everything stated here, especially the cool down after running. Unless
you are idling through a neighborhood, always let it cool down at idle for
at least 30 seconds, up to 2 min if you were really running it hard. BTW, I
like to use 5-40 in customer cars here in TX. Also, try to find a good
synthetic that meets VW 505.01 standards.
