In my pre-vanagon life I let my local jiffy lube take care of things like
oil changes.  After getting a westy and subscribing to this list, I find
myself wanting to do most of the routine maintenance like oil changes
myself.  The few times I've done this in the past, I've always used 10w-30
oil.  Should I still use this, or should I switch to an oil better suited
for the hot mid-Atlantic summers that we have in Virginia?  If so, what's a
good weight oil to use (15w-50, 20w-50, etc.)?  I'll be using a full
synthetic oil and I will probably change it back to 10w-30 for the winter.
I know this stuff is in my owner's manual, but the van (and the manual) is
in the body shop getting repaired (previous post - vanagon 1 toyota 0) from
a hit-and-run.

Thanks for your advice,

Steve
