There is nothing in the fuel that magnet modify! And now they have an ionizer pad that you put inside the air filter to ionize the air for better combustion and increase mileage, what will they think of next!

My 40 year old 1500 bug transmission was making a “****” of a racket because it was old and using 140 wt oil didn’t help either and when a bottle of “tufoil” was put-in the noise dropped by 80% anyway I replaced my transmission and gave the old away to a friend because he couldn’t afford a new...

My stock 40 year old 1500 vw bug was using straight 90wt dino oil and when I changed it to GL4 75/90 synthetic my idling speed went-up 300 RPM and shifting of gears was never better than when new

I am using a bosch techdwell meter. Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions that allowed me to figure out the problem.

Upon measuring the W8BC plug the tip gap it turned out to be 0.7 mm whereas the W8AC is 0.6 MM and I was able to use the W8BC plug my bug is using a higher energy coil with electronic contact point. Since the W8BC plug has a slightly extended (3mm) tip plus 0.7 mm tip gap which improve engine...

100% certain that nothing else was touched and during 2 weeks of driving didn't notice anything unusual or loss of power with the W8AC plugs in-fact seem to consume less fuel but not conclusive on just 2week/2 tank full I can simply change the plugs back to W8BC and report back.

I have a 40 year old 1500 stock vw bug using W8BC Bosch plugs with idling set to 950 RPM and when I change the plugs to W8AC as originally recommended in the manual I notice that the RPM has dropped by 60 RPM (a) Is the W8BC plug more efficient? (b) Since the RPM is higher does it mean I will...

I have a 40 year old 1500 VW beetle that was running on unleaded petrol for the last 5 years recently I found a pump station still selling "leaded" regular petrol. Would leaded petrol do more good than unleaded for my bug? Thanks for any respond

I just got some Castro GTX 20/50wt dino oil and the packing said: Extra Viscosity - I am a bit confused, can they claim something like that?

I was using premium 97 RON gas and Castro GTX 20/50W oil for my 40 year old air-cool bug and the engine oil gets pretty black after being driven for 1,000 KM and it has been like that for years. I drive to work daily (25 KM one way trip) via highway at leisure speed of 60 KM, 5 day work week...

My engine has been newly resealed with zero oil leakage, after digesting everyone suggestions, my conclusion is that; it is not exactly the higher cost synthetic, with only an additional of $15 for every 2,000 miles oil change that may improve engine performance exceeding $15 in value without...

OK will stick to dino, thanks for the suggestions.

Just for discussion purpose, aside the negative points of using synthetics on an aircool engine are there any plus points.. “…I have a 40 year old aircool VW bug and have recently changed its transmission dino gear oil to 75/90 wt synthetics and experience fantastic improvement in gear shift...
