Subject:type of oil and washer

Hello all, a quick question for you about my '87 Vanagon. I'm planning
on using Castrol GTX 20W50 during most of the year with the exception of
the cold winter months. I had figured I switch to 5w30 then. Is that
fine, if not what do you recommend?

Also in on of my books it talks about installing a new copper washer on
the oil drain plug when changing oil, do any of you do this?
Thanks, Tony
