Engine oil
To make starting easier during the cold
winter months, we suggest you choose a
thinner grade motor oil. Turn to page 73
for the recommended oil grades.
Ifyou drive mostly short distances and in
city traffic, we recommend you have your
engine oil changed at 1500-mile inter-
vals in the winter.
Transmission oil
SAE 90 grade transmission oil can gene-
rally be used all year round. Only in
areas with a cold climate is it necessary
to use the thinner SAE 80 transmission
oil during the winter months.
Inarctic climate and areas with tempera-
tures consistently below —13° Р, use
'Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) for
the manual transmission anc final drive.
When the temperature rises, replace the
ATF with SAE 80 or SAE 90 grade trans-
mission oil. See also page 74.
Windshield washer
Add anti-freeze to the washer fluid, such
as Volkswagen's Windshield Washer
Anti-Freeze & Solvent, to prevent it from
freezing. Follow the instructions on the
can for the right amount to be used.
