I recently had a brand new zero mile 1600DP installed in my bug and I have few questions.
The mechanic told me that when the motor clocks 500 miles to change the oil and adjust the valves. No problem with doing that however...
I took a look under the motor yesterday and there's no drain plug on the oil plate which seems odd. My old motor had a drain plug, the new motor does not. How are you supposed to drain the oil? Is there some other way? Just unbolting the oil plate is going to be messy.
The new motor has a PICT34 carb. The old carb was PICT 30/31 If I floor the gas pedal there is now a slight hesitation. Is that common? Is there something that can be done about it?
I'm getting conflicting advice on what oil to use.
15W40? 20W50? Which is best? I live in a fairly moderate climate here in the NW where the temp seldom dips below freezing.Thanks for any advice,
