My 81 AC Westy likely has a helicoil insert w/plug
inside of that. I say "likely" as I haven't looked
myself. (yes I know. I should be spanked...) Just
going by what PO's reciept indicates.....

Get a qualified VW guy/gal/monkey to deal with drain
plug if your scenario is as mine. (allen head plug
threaded into helicoil.....if I understand my scenario
correctly....)

My VW guy was quite clear about him dealing with the
first oil change. What I do beyond that I
dunno.....likley he will take all out, tap the block
(new larger threads) and install larger drain plug.
