I'm off on my European road trip in a week and a half and I'm going to give the car a bit of a service before I go, with new oil and filter etc. I have been looking around on here at past threads and most people seem to use either 0/40 mobil 1 or VX 5/30. I thought I would give Thorney a quick email to see what they recommended between the two because my car is running their stage 2 package and they have come back and said they use Mobil 1 10/60, which has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works. Does anyone use this oil in their car? It says on halfords website it is for high mileage older engines, which I wouldn't say would describe many corsa VXRs.
