What oil do you use?
« on: 02 March 2014, 18:40:06 »
I use Shell Helix HX7 10W40 in my 2.2 petrol

Results are good so far with only 1000 miles covered, to add it's dragged lots of muck out of the engine too which was the main reason for the using of this oil!

Impressed enough to continue using it

What do you use?

GM 10/40 Semi as it's cheap as chips on trade club, can oil change the 2.2 for around £14 or so all in, including GM filter  :y

10w40 semi-synthetic. Usually out of the drum at work, but otherwise whatever is cheapest. The last 5l I bought(needed it in a hurry, and it wasn't for me anyway) was £13 for 5l at ECP.

It really doesn't matter, especially if you change it at a reasonable interval. That's yearly for me, or about every 9000miles.

GM 10W40 semi synth in both my Omegas. And in the Rover, Kawasaki and Lawnmower before I "lost" them all.

Normally changed every 3-5k, although for the last year, both Omegas have only had one oil change  :-[
