Service parts question.

mostasz · #1 (**permalink**) 02-23-2009, 10:11 PM

I don't have service manuals, and I'm finding different results on google.
Can someone help me, and tell me:
1. What good spark plugs I can get. Something better than copper, and what gap i should set. Is 22 ft/lbs torque right?

2. What is the amount of engine oil that beetle takes, and oil change intervals. I found info that oil should be changed every 10k miles. Planning to use full synthetic.

Car is 2.0, 2004, with 54k miles.
Thanks
Mario

I use the same NGK spark plugs. They have 3 ground electrodes and don't require gapping. They are the best SP's for the 2.0L. They are around $6.00 each; the dealership want's $13.00 per spark plug.

You can find the NGK spark plugs at Advance Auto Part stores.
