I know a bunch of you guys had vw beetles. What did you run for oil in yours?

I need to change the oil in my baja bug and it has a hopped up AE 1600 DP.

I have a case of Mobil 1 15W50 that Mobil comp’d me for driving to Luftgekuhlt last year. I could use it but I think I need some ZDDP in there. I have a 1/2 bottle of Brad Penn kicking around that I could dump in with it. I have no idea what is currently in it for oil. I’m worried that the Mobil 1 will make it leak (currently it has seeps but no leaks).

I also have a bunch of 5W20 and 5W30 synthetic Penzoil I could use but again think this is not the right oil for it.

I really don’t want to go out to buy oil right now... what would you do?

Predictably the oil thread on The Samba is a million pages long and there is no really good concensus there.
