<< Hello,
 
 Just a note to inform you all that I am finally the owner of a 1987 16V
 Scirocco. It is silver, stock with teardrops, fuba, no sunroof or electric
 windows(two less things to worry about), great interior, and 81k miles.
 
 I've waited a long time for this car, and I want to take good care of it;
 preventative and otherwise. My question is about oil and tune ups. I live in
 Arizona, and during the summer in my lifetime, I have seen the temp at 117 F
 degrees. What, in all of your opinions, would be a good weight? A friend
 suggested 20W 50, but another friend said that 10W 40 is enough. What about
 synthetic?
 
Run nothing less than 15W in it. 20w will be fine even if you go with
synthetic.
You might try a synthetic blend.

 Second, what does a 16v cost to tune?I've seen the labor rates, but what
does
 it cost after parts and labor? I'd like to do all the work  myself, but we
 all have to start somewhere.

Good Bosch parts are about $75.00 (Cap, Rotor, Plugs(3 electrode), Fuel
Filter, Air 
Filter ) Wires are expensive Bosch Lifetime $166.00
And about and Hours worth of time
