If you are speakingof a pre-1998 Beetle, the answer is VERY simple !

They are are "air-cooled" ..... in other words air scoops channel cold air over the engine & oil housing to cool it ( OTE: it is for this reason why you have to be careful to keep the oil topped up .... I mean it, oil gets low - engine gonna blow !!!!

If you mean in a 1998 and newer it uses G12 and it is hard to find outside the dealer.I bought mine off eBay and it is mixed half and half with distilled water.
