[Vwdiesel] Re: [vwpickups] Correct oil for a 1985 Jetta TD engine (in a 81 Pickup)

[Night Shadow]

Delo 400 is good, alot of folks swear by Shell Rotella T (which now hads a
resonably priced sythetic out now).

That Fram filter...throw it in the trash.  Get either VW OEM, or Mann or
Mahle filters (which are all OEM style).  The Frams don't have the correct
pressure valve in them.
