Get yourself a trade club card and get 4 5 litre cartons of GM semi synthetic 10w40 from your local dealer. Works out at about 8 quid per 5 litres which is the best value for money you will find.

Don't worry matey.....  Its a standing joke on the forum.  Number one most asked/debated question must be 'which oil do I use in my Omega' which, as you could perhaps guess, is a bit of a red rag to some posters....

The VX semi synth is regarded as the best value/performance available, particularly if you have access to Trade Club prices, thats around.....

Have a search of the older threads and you will see whats meant!   :y

Yes just done mine n needed about 5.75l. When you fill it up it looks as if 5l will do it but once run a couple of miles oil lack comes up on screen as all little bits and filter have took some oil so a bit more is needed to top her up  :y
