I had two different VW Bugs from 1970 to 1973 and it was replaced with a 1974 914 2.0. I ran straight 30 weight in all of them as I lived in Alabama at the time. Back then multi viscosity oils were not great, and bordered on bad. Of course all oils had the zinc in in back then.

It was in the late 70s or early 80s before multi vis oils were safe to use on a bug. Since you buying oil in 2020 there is simply no direct coloration to the olden days of bias ply tires and single weight oils. I use 20-50 Brad Penn in my 85 911.
