Karl -

Valvoline got it right years and years ago :-)

I've run nuthin' but Valvoline 20/50 Racing in all my water cooled VWs, both
past and present (and an ex-Accord as well).  Works for me traveling all
over the country pulling a trailer behind my Westy, hot (very hot) or cold
weather.....

YMMV
