Hi all.
I had a look through the old posts, but i can't see owt in reverence.
I have a 2.2 DTi & i'm gona change the oil soon & wanted to know which is best? I do have the owners manual, but i think it's best to ask you guys with the experience :)
I guess a fully synthetic, because that's what i normally use for my cars, but what grade? I do eight mile to round trip to work & back every day, but a good distance at the weekend.
Any advice greatfully excepted.

Normal Vauxhall semi synthetic is all that is required matey.
Be carefull as they don't like oil threads ;)

Are we being serious when you said "they don't like oil threads"?????
If yes, WHY :o

Lol......because it normlay ends up with loads of posts and a certain member going into lots of technical details.
Its a bit of an on-going forum joke!
-
You certainly got me going, i thought WHHHHHAT!!!!!
Thought we was on a serious not here.
I'm TPMS now ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I persoanly use Vx fully synth.......but semi and regular changes would be equaly as good.
-
being a tractor engine, I'd use the cheaper Vx semi, and change every 3 - 4k...

But also be careful and very respectful if you dare to mention 'caravans'. Another dubious discussion area on this forum. ;D ;D ;D

I agree, write up one last oil post, include everything, and we'll FAQ it.

I was thinking he'd actually be our first negative actually. Oil threads are one thing. Going on about hydrocracked base stocks and polyalphaolefins is something else.

use the vauxhall semi and if you have the use of a Trade club card then you can buy 3 5ltr cans and get one free, that works out about £7.50 a can. You can also buy 3 get 1 free on 20 ltr Semi Drums and also both sizes in 5/30 fully synth'
This is one of the best oil deals from any supplier and makes up about a third of all Trade Club Sales in the UK
Cheers
