Well, I got some oil of opeil oil. I spoke to the parts person at my local dealer and he said, although it is a vxr model, the gm recommended oil is just the same as ALL other models. Paid just under 50 notes for 3 litre but its fully syn, .

vxro member get 10% discount and i think there is still a further 15% discount, not bad, .

Most people on here go for 75w90, which is also what I got. Well, its something that you dont need to get done every often - maybe once every 40-50k miles, my loigc is, use the best I can afford, .

BTW, vx says the gearbox is a non-serviceable item, however, my haynes manual suggests gearbox (M32) oil to be changed at a certain miles interval, so, the choice is yours.
