OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Oil Temperature Warning Dipstick, 235F Calibrated Alert, 1972-79 Type 4 Engines (Does NOT fit Vanagon Engine)
Oil Temperature Warning Dipstick, 235F Calibrated Alert, 1972-79 Type 4 Engines (Does NOT fit Vanagon Engine)
Price: $49.95

Oil Temperature Warning Dipstick, 235F Calibrated Alert, 1972-79 Type 4 Engines (Does NOT fit Vanagon Engine) is an easy and inexpensive way to be alerted by overheated oil temperatures! At 225F the light will flicker, and at 235F the light goes on steady! There are several ways to wire this. The most common and easiest usage is to wire parallel with the stock oil pressure warning light (Green light on the dash). The kit comes with the wires and connectors to do this. If you want a nicer installation, you have to run a wire from the dash to the engine, and you can then use this wire to give you a visual (warning light), audio (warning buzzer), or both!

This unit fits into the stock dipstick tube, replacing the stock dipstick. If you want an easy to install oil temperature gauge, this is it!

This version fits Type 4 engines, which include the 1972-79 Bus with the Type 4 Engines in North America. If you have an Upright Type 1 Engine, we have a different unit for those, and "Shorty" versions which are 1/8 NPT, typically custom install locations, or for installation at the Type 3 Oil Filler Block Off location on Universal Cases.

Amsoil Z-ROD 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil, QUART, ZRTQT-EA
Price: $14.95

Amsoil Z-ROD 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil, QUART, ZRTQT-EA is one of the finest engine oils you can use for our Flat Tappet aircooled VW engines. This oil was designed from the beginning to provide flat tappet protection for our 1930s designed engines! We recommend 10-30 in most every case, since oil pressures over 45psi will cause the engine to bypass the stock oil cooler! If you have a 26mm or 30mm oil pump, or cruise at higher than normal speeds, we recommend you check your hot oil PRESSURES to make sure you are not exceeding 45psi, which will bypass the cooler and cause oil temperatures to skyrocket. This product can ONLY ship via Ground (UPS Ground, USPS Parcel Post, etc)! more info
