For a 1988 VW Cabriolet, it's recommended to use 10W-40 motor oil, especially if you live in a region with varying temperatures. Look for oil that meets the API (American Petroleum Institute) service classification of SF or higher. If you prefer synthetic oil, a high-quality synthetic 10W-40 can also be suitable. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and guidelines.
It depends on what kind of shape your engine is in. If your engine leaks go with a 20 40 if your engine doesnt leak go with a 10w 30.

To change the oil in a VW Cabriolet, first ensure the engine is cool and then lift the car securely. Drain the old oil by removing the oil drain plug, allowing it to fully empty into a catch pan. Replace the oil filter using an oil filter wrench and apply a bit of new oil to the gasket of the new filter before installing it. Finally, refill the engine with new oil through the oil filler cap, checking the level with the dipstick to ensure it meets the required mark.
Use 20W50 oil (Castrol makes it) in a type 1 VW.
