Just bought 2001 3.0 Elite,and previous owner used fully synthetic engine oil. What oil is most suited to this engine?

At the price, you can't go wrong with VX 10 / 40 semi synth

What's the milage ?

Mileage is 133k.

I'd stick to 10/40 and change the oil and filter every 4 / 5000 miles

I use GM's semi 10W40 in both my Omegas (prefacelift 3.0l, 174k, and facelift Elite, 58k), as its only £10 for 5l on TC.

I also use it in the Kawasaki and in the lawnmower, as its cheap!

Also, because its so cheap, I change it regularly - the single best thing you can do for an engine.

If you prefer fully synthetic then GM 5w30 is also very cheap on Trade Club. (About £14 for 5 litres if you go for the 4 for 3 offer).
