About 3ish L to change it.
Just use 10/40 Semi synth GM oil. Its about a tenner for 5L

I wouldn't want to go much thinner than 10w, might start getting leaks.

10W/40 for an X16XE????

I was told to use... 15W/40 Part Synthetic!!!!!!!!

I've also checked at Halfords (the place to go where you are desperate)
and it says to use 15W/40 Part Synthetic for the 1.6 Sport....?

ummmm sooo ummmm yea.... :boggle:

Well ive been toping up with castrol magnatec.

Was just curious if anyone has had any bad experiences with certain oils.
