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

[Adrian Snare]

      You are indeed on solid ground, Mike.. I have used Frams for eons,
The Wix may well be better.. Rotella, Delo, and Delvac are all excellent.
You will have to change the oil more often with a TD.. Don't forget
