[keevovxr]

Before someone says use the search button,i hvae and cant find a definitive answer.

my question is which oil should be in the vxr,ive just got the car and this is the 1st ive changed the oil,in the logbook the car has always had 5w-30,but on here people seem to be using various grades of oil,which should i be going for?

Your owners manual will tell you which grades are suitable (there are many) as long as it meets the GM standard which the main dealer will be sure to do for you

Mine had 5W30 until I bought it. I'm now using 0W40 Mobil1, and that's all I'll be using in it.

why the 0w-40 matt? i was thinking of using a5w-40 fully synthetic?

5 30 semi i use.. its down to what your willing to spend.. "Oil" is "Oil" IMO.. rather use the more affordable oil and change it on more occasions rather than spending 60+ on expensive Oil..
