Hello,

Hmm.... oil for Aircooled,

lets see.... engine is 30 years old, based on a series of near identical engines stretching back to the 1930's....

I don't think synthetic somehow,

For the engine: 15/40 mineral, usually the supermarket own brand

In the camper: sunflower oil for cooking, and olive oil or even walnut oil for salads. :rofl :rofl :rofl

Sorry, it's been one of those says :roll:

Cordialement,


:ok
