Autovaux does GM oil cheap, I also got some from my local Vaux dealer though 5 litres semi synth 10-40.

£30 or £14 if you buy the oil and filter deal.

Clearly I had the filter too lol.

its either 5 or 5.5litres

im pretty sure its 5

y22dtr are 5.5 i think lol

They usually take about 5.5, sometimes more. You may need to get a couple or get a 5l bottle and 1l on its own.

Yea its 5 ish, dipstick is shit on the mk4 astras so its a little hit an miss, not ground itself to a halt yet though so not all bad :o

well just get 10-40 will do the job fine

and you will need all five litres too :thumbs:

or they might even take 5.5 litres thinking about it! or is it 5 :boggle:

:lol: Might actually be worth it :| I might be able to get my hand on a trade membership from another forum so ill see how that goes.

Warren - im in the process of doing stuff myself so im changing it every 8/10k to get some practice in (im a tool with tools so need the practice ;))

errr Y

werent many Y code engine, so i dont actualy know the offical oil!

but everything that comes it gets 5-30 as thats whats in the 'taps'

i think with trade card its alot cheaper, how much i dunno

10-40 will be fine, depends on mileage, if doing 20k between services id say use fully syn

cunningham - cheers

SVM - Course I had :o The packaging is shite though, just looks crap (as opposed to Castrol looking good? :boggle: )

Rich - It was def £42 before from Vaux dealer, 5l 10W-40 semi-syn :(

Warren - its not high performance or anything but it is a 'Y'20DTH, so X and Z codes dont do anything for me ;) I am thinking of remapping it soon though, any opinions on that and different oils to use?

unless its a performace turbo or high reving thing, i realy wont be that bothered

vauxhall run on

X engine code - 10-40 semi syn
Z engine code - 5-30 fully syn

iv got 0-40 for my engine, think thats super syn

and its cost all of nothing :D

vauxhall use mobil1 oil

Go to vauxhall in the morning and get some, they aren't too expensive.

Its for my Astra DTi, after a bit of googling it looks like im looking for the specification B3 on the container, anyone else confirm

edit - or B5

Carlube is as good as any other semi-synthetic oil for your Corsa.

Valvoline's a good make as far as I know. Wouldn't have thought that Carlube was a great make though.

I thought Valvoline was a good make?

Carlube? more like anal lube :lol:

Was at my local trade warehouse and they only have these brands that I could see.

Either of these any good, or is it only worth flushing an engine with it instead of running it for 10k on?

Cheers
