General consensus here is that there's only one oil worth using & that is VX 10w 40 semi synthetic which is apparently dirt cheap & more so with a TC card. I personally use 15w 30 fully synthetic, but that's because I get it gratis ;D :y

I prefer VX 5w30 super synthetic which is only a little more expensive on trade card. (If there was a big price difference I would go with the semi synthetic.)

This OOF recomended service intervals (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152655085) sums it up better than I can.

Forgive me for asking the obvious, but where exactly is the link for the trade club card?

I cannot find any mention of it on the website you are pointing to - can you be more specific please?

Alternatively ask your local VX for their dealer parts code and an application form, fill it in, fax it to Luton and wait for the TC pack to hit the doormat.
