I'd say take advice from the professionals, like I did, speak to oilman.  You can do no wrong by putting in different oil other than vauxhalls own.  Depends if your car tows, I used fully synthetic and change at 5000.

Everyone has the choice to either eat tesco value beans or heinz, they both do the same!

Better oils have ester and anti friction additives, and are totally labratory engineered, so do a certain job.  Vaux recommend their oil, and most on here use it, which it great.

Oilmans number is 01209 215164.

Hope this helps

Iv noticed that with 10w-40 oil i can slightly hear my tappets, which cant be heard from the cabin, but lift the bonnet and its annoying!

But by using 5w-30 oil, its sorted that out, although its dearer but worth it. if anybody has little tappet noise, then try this might help!

Given that the omega engines will go on to do silly miles on the recommended oils, 2 or 300k in some cases, what is to be gained by using a more expensive or better oil? I would argue any thing more expensive is a waist of money. No?

Also price is not the be all....

The 20liter fully synthetic stuff we can get on trade club for £57 would cost a BMW owner £180 in a their stealerships. PMSL.
